(I think the following is not quite clear, I kind of know this, I wrote a bit on this at the bottom)
=========================================================================
this strange thing has kind of been on my mind, or back of it the last while, do you have problems with your perspective on the use or usefulness of your arts as a tool for others? perhaps to help/heal/quell/teach others? perhaps you have at one time or another?
I am recently fuzzy, with trying/attempting to kind of, channel or direct, (in intuitive ways), my more creative side into a more beneficial direction, that goes more with the times now and light and such, (and me as apart of all this as well), I think I say this because of these changes, and how maybe perhaps in some strange way my art must change too, as if it obviously I guess must change with me. maybe its like, I am moving forward but now my art is in the past, I think its along the lines of being involved in a large project and now I feel it must, or has to change.
EDIT: I think its like a thread, and I need a kind of new, or new form of this thread, to continue, its almost like a new kind of clothing to a new life, the way a new form of fashion can make you feel new in a soulful, spiritual way
I have many past storys, perhaps some that I have been trying to tell in more elaborate ways, beyond traditional arts, and now, with all these changes (in our time currently), they almost in strange ways feel ether obsolete or not needed, as importance in the bigger spectrum of things for people, where we are at etc now, EDIT: its probably me.
perhaps I must simply change them somehow, these past storys, into some new light or something, I am not clear on what this actually means yet
I have always felt it important to make art as kind of "tools" or "uses" for people, (I work alot with technology), yes, I know, just let it flow, hehehe
I do alot of creative, experimentation and flowing expression, though as components to these actual storys, because they deal with many mediums coming together, kind of as a whole etc, so thats usually where I let things go and just be purely creative (with no "rules")
but to me storys are important as "tools", (obviously for myself as well, though I always try and use the universality to hit it all home), especially, for people helping/healing etc, perhaps I am losing faith in storys, as narratives as importance somehow, or I must change my understanding of them, see them in a new way or light, or awareness?
I think it feels like I am this old being becoming "new" right now, and, my art is "old" now, its that kind of feeling. but I'v put so much damn work into it, this is strange to me because it seems to have somehow crept up on me so fast, over a short period of time it seems, at least it seems to feel this way truly.
all the above may all sound strange, or perhaps I'm getting it all wrong for a moment, as if a bit disoriented in some way right now?
now that I have just hopped, skipped and jumped through all these assumptions, if you have any input, or can clarify for me, as I may be, actually confused, and am "not getting it" etc, or maybe your own take on one of the bits of stuff mentioned here, then go ahead, if the above is not too clear, than I can try to further clarify : )
=====================================================
minor note: I have been working so long on certain new ways to tell or present storys to people, (but hopefully a tool for each of us all to use as well, between ourselfs in the world), that I now feel that like me, what I am in the midst of doing must transform as well, perhaps at this moment it feels like too much
also I have not posted much on your site yet, so if their is anything that you would like me to "be aware of" from this post than by all means. . .
also my brain is a bit "scattered", (or rather feel like I'v been in some headlock, or vice, for a long time in my life), and I seek to solve/heal or something this here on this site, thankyou for all this writing here, I can now learn from, will take me awhile.
cheers

I make healing tools from visions I receive, but I am a crystal communicator / carrier. I even offer classes to teach others how to use them. Some people get it, but many don't. I have a feeling that because my tools all involve crystals, unless people are tuned into the crystals they won't respond to the energies of the tools or resonate with the teachings.
Perhaps art has the same effect. Since we are all individual beings, I would assume we will all resonate differently to all creative objects.

is like an echo memory. been continuing to let this flow through me. hit my nail, right on its head. thanks for this.
I used to make alot of this kind of activism art, in the past
The only and real problem with art, is that it won't mean the same to everyone, you are creating a message, not it's interpretation.
(That's why I chose graphic design)
thanks for getting me out of the loop I was in
You just gotta be open to the views that whatever you're creating will have, a lot of people will put meanings into it that were never your intention, or you could have never seen it that way, but that's the beauty of it.
Sometimes the significance someone gives to a piece of art is even better than the significance it was supposed to have in the first place.
