Jim Morrison: "Something Sacred".

MLK Day 2013- 1, inverted (live performance)  C.T. Rasmuss, India Ink (2013).

It is rumored that Jim Morrison of The Doors said once to a drinking buddy: 

"...they want something sacred."

This was 1st brought to my attention in watching Oliver Stone's Movie on the 'Electric Poet', Jim Morrison and The Doors...whether fictional or not,as an artist I can totally relate to this comment.  As I'm sure many others can as well, and its the reason for my blog today.

Today is my last day at Pendleton Arts Center-Cincinnati, because of this very concept!!!

It is in my opinion that the roof over 100's of artist's heads is only for the money; the people that own the lease and collect our rent, don't do it for the Arts(something sacred), but for the all mighty dollar alone(as far as I'm concerned ..again its my opinion based on a year's encounters, leading me to finally trust my first impression of this place-and places like this one all over the world for that matter.

I create because I want something sacred, and the best way I know how is through my artwork, I feel like a hypocrite when my work is headed in the opposite direction of the place in which I display it, therefore today is a great day!  

I'm leaving this place in search of "something sacred"..
