Inspire Me Thursday's prompt this week-DNA. DNA? Well that took some thinking.
And what it made me think about was what it means to be creative, to create art. To ask those oh so controversial questions about what is art? Who is an artist? What is art created with.
Huge questions I know.
The answer for me is that being artistic is in the vision, in the idea, how a person sees something, how you get there is just the medium. A tool of communicating an idea, a thought, an emotion....
So what's the DNA sample here? A foam ball (from the stash-I will buy these no more!) that I covered with sequins and beads. They are attached with sewing pins. I took a picture and then altered it with a filter. When I went to glue it down, I decided I actually liked the back side of the picture better.
Here's the original picture. These make fun ornaments by the way.
