Quotes: Someone on negative space relating to grief…
Im not an artist but I tell stories using art
“I try to tell stories that are left out of the canon.”
“What’s the devotion behind your passion?” (Context: Why do you do art? Do you look at other artists’ work to improve?)
“If you only value your own story, you’re a really shitty story teller.”
“I tell one story in 30 different ways.”
