Second Outing

Second Outing-But didn't go anywhere...

Susan Aldworth was really fun to met and listen to. One always wonders where gallery or museum type artwork comes from. How does the artist get there? A plaque can tell you what the artwork is supposedly about but that's no substitution to hearing the events and relations that really lead to the creation of an artwork. Her story about falling in "love" with her doctor and the path that lead her to working with various patients to create truly fascinating artwork was wonderful. I personally particularly liked the artwork from or based on schizophrenia, it reminded me of a strong manifestation of OCD. Artwork people without a disorder would find dreadfully tedious and boring to create.
