art belongs to the unconscious!
art belongs to the unconscious! one must express oneself! express oneself directly! not one’s taste, or one’s upbringing, or one’s intelligence, knowledge or skill. not all these acquired characteristics, but that which is inborn, instinctive.

just last weekend i saw the preview for the new steve martin movie, cheaper by the dozen, and there was a 15-second clip of a dog sinking his teeth into ashton's ass. the dog refuses to let go, and you can hear it chewing and chomping as ashton, sprawled out on his stomach, howls in pain. a year ago i would've given anything to be that dog.
