Freedom

Lately it’s been my feeling that art at bottom is about absorbtion and freedom, or absorbtion towards freedom. I think that all art is really practice in freedom, and striving towards freedom. Maybe the real carrot art holds out in front of the artist is freedom, and the artist struggles through being towards that place, or object - to become free in a freedom achieved through an accumulation of freedoms granted to oneself and won over from the other side. Then the question rises: freedom towards what? I suppose though that freedom in itself might really be the thing. Maybe that’s enough.
