....living the life of an artist is not as important as living our life as a work of art." (Prechtel)

This line has engaged my thinking about this current work - how are we see our lives in this context ? My own answer is through metaphor , which this work draws heavily upon . Myth can be a rich source of connection to this world . When we read or listen to the great myths of the world or fairy stories our identification with characters or events within the story is not arbitrary - the story and our own lives collide and communicate with each other through metaphor .
