My partner Christina and I decided to create something that would incorporate both our passion for the arts. For our final project, we wanted to showcase the life of an artist. We were fascinated by the idea that artists could make something so marvelous out of something so simple. Really, I was inspired by a video I had seen of a man in the streets of New York creating music out of trash cans, bins, and a scraps of metal. What other people saw as garbage, he regarded it as music. From then on, our idea of documenting the life of artists was born.
Art, in its many forms, is sometimes overlooked or categorized as a hobby. The life of an artist is characterized as a hard life; with little to no pay and the common cliche of waiting tables on the side. But art is something that takes skill and talent. It's not just having the capability to produce a masterpiece, but also having the creativity to do so, I like to think of art as a blank piece of paper; there are no rules, no boundaries. Truly you can make anything out of that white piece of paper; the possibilities are endless.
