Some days are tougher than others. On the toughest of days, I wish for the ability to see things through a larger lens, if you will. I wish for perspective. The ability to see things without the subjectivity of whim or personal tragedy or privilege. Surely a different view would lend answers to the who and the why. Or maybe just compassion and tolerance for others, for oneself. The work of today’s AAAD Artist of the Day, Melissa Hill, gave me just a glimpse of that perspective I crave. (continues below).
“I hope that my work has enough longevity and nuance for people to look at it and take something from it and for those same people to walk through life, change themselves, and then reflect upon it in a different light. I want their interpretation to shift and evolve as they do. I want this because in the end, I think that the act of creating and recreating is at the very heart of being human.” — Melissa Hill
