Places on the edge of language

Only Disconnect
Places on the edge of language that the world can't strip away
by Jerry Saltz

Despite what's happening in the outside world, in our studios or in front of artworks we experience moments of genuine stillness, intensity, and meaningfulness—places on the edge of language that the world can't strip away. These aren't just imaginary flights of fancy or retreats into aestheticism. In this imperfect realm we experience the undeniable, elemental truth that sometimes, just by making or looking at art, we might discern the full range of human possibilities.

There is no doubt that amongst all the networked connections and endless inputs of information, that I find an outpost from "my" mind in that time spent alone creating the image. A very basic impulse staisfied. How about you?
