I think part of it has to do with the commonality of people taking art so seriously, when in fact, it's often more a matter of taste than opinion. Definitely stop by the opening at SOIl on Thursday and say hi! -Rimas Hey Peter,

It surprises me too, and it’s definitely an interesting phenomenon. I think part of it has to do with the commonality of people taking art so seriously, when in fact, it’s often more a matter of taste than opinion.

Some people seem to need art to be a pretty painting on a wall. They get angry if it's ugly, forgetting that the masters they adore often painted war and ugliness contemporary to their times.. They get angry if it's not a painting or another pre-approved form, forgetting that the entire human made world is largely shaped by artists of one sort or another. I'm looking forward to seeing you and your work in Seattle. Have a nice day! It always surprises me to see that kind of response, but I guess I’ve seen it enough that I shouldn’t.
