As artists let us resolve to elevate our thinking:
In doing so let us align our emotional perspectives with reality, share all that which is good, and strive for excellence in every way.
Cheers!

Time Vanishing
Any extended observation of culture will witness the diminishing and extinction of certain shallow, once dominant, yet short-lived forces in society and the arts.
Unlike the personal effects of a deceased individual, the artifacts that remain have no connection, however brief or tenuous, to a past reality that is gone as surely as if it had never existed.
This is a defining principle of the arts: to lift perception, and thus experience, beyond the common currency of bombast and poorly engaged ideals, into a realization of abstract, permanent things.
