Spontaneous Musings

Interesting! I think I have more the opposite feeling towards art, I need a bit of distance to better appreciate it. I'd rather have the big emotions come at me a bit sideways or be built up in layers. I was just writing the other day about seeing the play War Horse and how I felt the distancing effect of the puppets and staging actually allowed me to connect more than pure realism would have. I understand how things can sometimes be too dry but I do like the head with the heart, I think some of favourite bits of writing have those odd lines that I sometimes have to puzzle over, like a worry stone in your pocket to turn over and over. It's neat how everyone looks for something different in art.
