An interesting read by Clyde Rathbone:
A few days ago when my alarm woke me, the first thing I did was lovingly caress my the most treasured companion…my iPhone 6 Plus…I opened FB to learn about what cats where doing in the world….to see what kind of food my fellow primates were consuming, what television shows they were watching and to share in their life struggles….like being cut-off in traffic or “not being able to find a suitable hairdresser anywhere in Canberra!!! FML LOL…Sad-face”
Naturally, in a show of solidarity I was forced to like all of these updates as quickly as my thumb could tap the screen.
I then went on Twitter to have a nuanced debate about important global issues… to be berated and to berate all the people who disagree with me. I then visited CNN & the BBC…to learn what diabolically brilliant way some government or religion had devised to kill innocent people and divide humanity from itself.
But after that important work was done I went somewhere I’d never been before…just around the corner from my home I took a stroll to an art gallery in Deakin…There I met the disturbingly energetic and eccentric artist…Margaret Dimoff…Inside this huge building Margaret displayed an astonishingly large collection of paintings and sculptures, work that she has spent decades creating.I asked Margaret why she creates art…and she looked at me in a funny way…as if to suggest I’d asked a truly peculiar question, and then she said:
“Because I have to”
