Letting It Go
Letting it go -
I realized that I never shared the ‘WHY’ - just the ‘WHAT’…
Olaf is the poorly rendered imaginary friend that was never supposed to be immortalized. Re-animated accidentally by residual magic . On a deeper level, He is aware that he is not what God intended - this is the reason for his suicidal ideation ( but that’s another story)
My therapist told me to “let it go”.
Her advice was valuable. But in order to “let it go”, I would have to shake off the myriad ambitious doodlers who were inundating me with the questions.
Maybe it was a baby / bath water type of situation , but if I was going to move on from the creepy art world (gang) molesters , I’d have to bid ‘fare thee well!” To the whole bunch- the good AND the bad.
So I made Art about it.
The best kind of Art ( in my opinion). The kind that seems pointless , silly, spontaneous - the kind that does not aspire to luxury or immortality . The kind that is not boastful or prestigious. The kind that just says “buh-bye”.
Just a pencil , an eraser , a BIC pen and some yellow lined paper .
This is the WHY.
Here is the WHAT.
