Doing the dishes can be work of art.
It's the brick laying versus the cathedral building once again.
Many great talents reported they did not enjoy the practice of their talent. English writer Roald Dahl for one.
But were they telling the truth or were they walking with a limp before losing their canes and doing back flips like Gene Wilder in the 1971 film adaptation of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?
Writer-Director Ilir Pristine whose latest feature Florrie (2019) premiered this July had this to say about the audience. "What they had in common was a strong emotional response to Florrie, but their opinions were as unique as themselves."
I took this to mean the audience is important because without the audience there is no artist. But the audience does not matter because writing for so many would be writing for no one and would satisfy no one and evoke strong emotional responses in no one.
The audience does not matter.
The audience is important.
But the art is from a particular state of mind.
Knock knock.
Who's there?
