Art + Adaptation
Adaptation is the act of changing something or changing your behavior to make it suitable for a new purpose or situation. (Collinsdictionary.com)
I have had the fortunate experience of working with a group of individuals who live in a world that presents unique challenges, as well as rules and expectations that they’re often expected to ADAPT TO.
It has opened my eyes to how Art will always, by nature, adapt TO the artist. Creativity, resourcefulness, new ideas, experimentation, persistence, and courage are the embodiments of Art - just as the artists I’ve been creating with are.
Good Art will never insist upon YOUR adaptation. It will always be there to reach out a gentle hand to lead you and show you something magical-
YOURSELF.
