We will both have to organise ourselves better next year won't we? I think I enjoyed the discussion so much because it really did resonate for artists as well - similar dilemmas, similar needs to be authentic. I think that is a great word to describe our best work. Go well.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-8808902860474558562012-11-01T12:34:36.314+10:002012-11-01T12:34:36.314+10:00Thanks Carol - you are very kind!

That makes so much sense! I think writers and artists do share the same concerns with this issue.

Reading your breakdown and summaries of the topic I can't help but feel all those points relate to the visual artist as well as to the writer. Create with integrity, authenticity and honesty ..... each viewer will have their own way of regarding your work, and some of our works connect more readily and easily to the viewer. Good to know the dilemmas, and the truths, are very similar for writers and visual artists.susan bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039648113517753032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-63649582808523839632012-10-28T22:53:45.407+10:002012-10-28T22:53:45.407+10:00Very very interesting.

When the reader/viewer is not regarded as a consumer, the book or work of art are not products, they are creations. I rather agree with Steven though not with his phrasing :)ersimarinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08898441311620432865noreply@blogger.com
