What Art Can Do
Isn't it funny, how art becomes a signpost of home? Paradoxically, it allows us to leave home. Seeing familiar forms planted in another geographical location provides an instant psychological connection. We live among giant shapes that direct us without our knowledge.
Our vision is changed. We have seen in new ways. We will never go back. This is what art can do.
Small people seek to destroy it.

Yea, I like to try to analyze these things, too. So it's nice to see somebody else is also pulling their hair out. :-)
