Longing

pages left full of phrases and fragments

there they lie limp

awaiting inspiration’s return

its breathe wet and warm

to make them again mine

Interview With a Non-Artist: Mitch Shiwal Part II

ANGIE: I completely agree. There is also this unsettling feeling that lurks like a shadow as you get closer and closer to completing your piece. You just start to feel like, to complete the work is to take away its life. Pair that with the obvious insecurities that come with self-expression and your enthusiasm kind of evaporates.

MITCH: hmm its not that dramatic for me… it doesn’t feel like a death… it feels… melancholy because while it is finished, its potential is at its end. it has accomplished all it ever will, and depending on my laziness and or lack of talent… it probably didn’t end up fully realized in a meaningful way that lives up to the inspiration that gave birth to it.

hmm.. maybe it is like death

ANGIE: I think you articulated it better. It’s a death, but it is like a real death; it’s anticlimactic. You expect for there to be drama to distract you from the emptiness you feel, but there is none.

MITCH: like collecting butterflies on a pin. beautiful but stagnant

ANGIE: right, there’s no movement, but it feels like there should be

MITCH: maybe you should get into animation then

ANGIE: haha, punny.

Fragments of Life

ON TRYING TO CONNECT HIS ART TO THIS MONTH’S THEME

I’m stumped for this first week. I guess I’ve never really done “art” due to the fact that I mainly take photos of life as it happens. Everything I do as art has always revolved around my friends and the places we find ourselves in… the things we do.
