“the suffering of others wins poetry contests and gets you laid”
I saw that over at secret vespers today and I really liked it. It reminded me of something I had written down while flipping channels and stumbling on the show “Intervention” on A&E. I meant to work it into a drawing or something eventually, but haven’t found the right image to really relay the thought just right:
“People are coming apart at the seams, and it’s entertainment.”
I play with the idea of confession in my own art quite a bit, and with suffering… but it’s always honest, it’s always my own to talk about, and it isn’t really with the intention of entertaining anyone. Just… in the hopes of offering some sense of connection. For you or for me, I’m not so sure.
