Sex and Art

​Sex and art are the same thing 
- Picasso 
 
I feel like I’m tapping into a common wavelength lately. I’ll be thinking about a topic and open my email to find a blogger I follow has just written about it. This week, it’s Molly’s post about art and porn. 
In that same vein, I think this Picasso quote is true. And it’s not true. But it is. Sex is an artistic pursuit, art arouses, the two can be intertwined in ways impossible to separate and at their best, they’re elevated by the other. They can also be polar opposites. 

In the best world, my work combines both elements into something other, but it's not something I can do by myself. My work requires the outside eye of an audience because outside perception changes everything about what is being perceived. A sexy Schrodinger's Cat, if you will. 

The hardest thing about being an artist/blogger/photographer is my audience’s reaction. But it’s also the best thing. I’ve had people invest way more thought and depth and meaning to my work than I ever intended and I’ve had pieces I slaved over get panned hard by my audience. There’s no accounting for taste. Including my own.

When I put my work into the public sphere, I can’t control the reaction. Nor do I want to. I can simply continue to produce art/sex/art and let it lead to whatever happens next.

So, Happy Valentine's Day everyone. Go out there and share some love, sex and art. XO

I first saw your photo on IG, and the quote stuck with me. The image too, but the rest of the day I was thinking about the correlation.

Lovely image (the composition and framing are gorgeous, and I love the on-image text, and the whole setup of it really, it's wonderful and you look beautiful), and very relatable text. Sex and art both hopefully arouse strong feelings in us!
