1000 Flowers for the Planet - #368 Support a Sculptor
Being an artist can be a very difficult occupation. It’s
hard to get known and it’s hard to get support. Artists work intuitively. It is
a need they have to express
themselves through creative endeavour. It is a life that calls them from deep
within, one in which they find ways most others would never be able to imagine
to express thoughts, feelings and ideas.
Sculptors work in many varied materials. A few are able to
sell large pieces to government bodies and have their work displayed as public
art. This is a fantastic outcome for those few. Many other sculptors will work
on a smaller scale, so the next time you think of buying some type of ornament
for your garden, stop! Don’t walk into the garden section at some hug chain
store and buy something mass produced in a factory in another country. Think
about buying a unique piece of sculpture from a local artist, one that no other
garden will ever have, something that makes you
a patron of the arts and contribute to another human being’s ability to earn a
living. By supporting a sculptor you give that person the opportunity to be
what they were always meant to be – a sculptor.
