    “As long as the hummingbird had not abandoned the land, somewhere there were still flowers, and they could all go on.” — Leslie Marmon Silko
    “When one is invisible he finds such problems as good and evil, honesty and dishonesty, of such shifting shapes that he confuses one with the other, depending upon who happens to be looking through him at the time. Well, now I’ve been trying to look through myself, and there’s risk in it. I was never more hated than when I tried to be honest. Or when, even as just now, I’ve tried to articulate exactly what I felt to be truth. No one was satisfied — not even I. On the other hand, I’ve never been more loved and appreciated than when I tried to ‘justify’ and affirm someone’s mistaken beliefs; or when I tried to give my friends the incorrect, absurd answers they wished to hear.” — Ralph Ellison, Invisible Man
    “The First and Second Slip”: One slipped by accident, the other was carefully molded to imitate the accident. #Intentism __ From our latest post: “The Resurrection of the Artist: An Interview with Vittorio Pelosi” (link in bio)
    Vittorio Pelosi is a U.K.-based artist and founder of Intentism, a new art movement that ascribes the meaning of an artwork to the artist’s intention and not to the interpretation of the viewer. Intentism seeks to resurrect the artist who supposedly died with postmodernist Roland Barthes’ 1967 essay “The Death of the Author.” (Link in bio!)
