Freedom, WhatÕs it Worth to You? (The Distance Between)
Freedom is the sound of noise, silence is the sound of obedience, and our culture is enslaved. Freedom is Aphex TwinÕs, ÒGirl/BoyÓ playing beautifully followed next by WaxahatcheeÕs, ÒRight Back to It.Ó The distance between. Obedience is standing in front of the most undisturbed Mark Rothko youÕve ever seen. Or, one of my own paintings, quiet as can be! Generational nuances of change between them! All of this is happening, out of control, with little understanding of universal intrinsic value at the same time across distances and we are strengthened by these experiences, yet suffer from them, the same.
