Passion and Values
I have begun to do what is right for me. What pleases myself and not what others want to see. I value the opinions of others, but the only one that truly count is being true to myself.  My passion is art and to continue to fully develop as an artist i must speak from the heart and fully express myself and who i am.  Some may say that crocheting is a craft and not an art, but from my perspective it is a beautiful art form, a form of meditation.  I am speaking from the heart, the red representing what is undeniable, although i tend to relapses and need approval, the tan is representing this experience, and with the multicolored yarn representing the acknowledgment of being who i really am.  The piece is still a work in progress and i will relapse to trying to impress everyone else, but i know that in the end i will successfully be true to myself and show my colors.

While currently working on my community art instillation based on the need for art in society, along with a need to reconnect to our peers, this video came into my life and touched my soul.  He is so passionate about what is true and becoming in our society.  If you all would please take the three minutes to listen to his words, his movements, and his passion.  Please enjoy Marshall Soulful Jones "Touchscreen".
