“There are two ways. One is to be a puppet, follow the culture, and do whatever they want. That was mentally disturbing to me, and still is. And the other way is to go out. I knew there would be problems from my family, and also from my environment. But I thought that physical pain would be better than the mental pain. And I started working as an artist.” WayWantStillsTwoProblemWould BePainArtistCultureEnvironmentMy FamilyDisturbingTwo WaysPuppetsPhysical PainMental Pain Author:Malina Suliman
“The artists of Asia have spiritually realized form, rather than aesthetically invented or imitated form, and from them I have learned that art and nature are mind's Environment within which we can detect the essence of man's Being and Purpose, and from which we can draw clues to guide our journey from partial consciousness to full consciousness.” MenMindArtFormPurposeArtistConsciousnessEnvironmentJourneyDrawsEssenceGuidesI Have LearnedAsiaClue Author:Morris Graves

“I think the relationship is very tenuous between fashion and art. Many designers have built relationships with artists, which is not something I personally did.

“Im interested in the liberating aspect of being totally untethered, let loose in the worst possible environments. My favorite artists are always women that do things that are so wrong...

If they are seven kinds of wrong, sometimes the wrongs neutralize themselves, and the whole thing becomes.” IfsKindSometimesWholeArtistEnvironmentWorstAspectSevenMy FavoriteLiberatingFavorite Artist Author:Ashley Bickerton

“These days there are painters that go inside a factory in order to be inspired by the noise of machines, so that it affects their works. Of course, artists need sensibility; sensibility towards their environment and their community, but when they are stirred enough by their experiences in their society they can create their art in small studios.” NeedsArtEnoughArtistOrderCoursesCommunityEnvironmentMachinesInspiredStudiosNoisePainterThese DaysFactoriesSensibilityBe Inspired Author:Guity Novin
“So the only environment the artist needs is whatever peace, whatever solitude, and whatever pleasure he can get at not too high a cost. All the wrong environment will do is run his blood pressure up; he will spend more time being frustrated or outraged.
