The Art of Giving
First there was Ehren. Then Fariba, and Ashley. Ehren Tool: “Literally a woman took a photograph of a bowl that I made for her and sold the photograph of the bowl for thousands of dollars in New York. You can’t ask for thousands of dollars for a ceramic bowl. [laughs] But the photograph will last only fifty years; the ceramic piece will last a couple of thousand. So rather than accept five dollars for a cup and say that’s what it’s worth, I just give it away.” Fariba Safai: “I feel that in the process of giving, you’re receiving. You can’t change anybody else. So all you can do is hopefully start with yourself. So in the end, in that process of giving, you’re really self-healing. I think that’s the greatest aspect of the true artist.” { read more }
