My Mr. Wilsons

Many women artists talk about their artwork as their babies.  They say they give birth to them.  It is a creation after all.  For me its not the same.  A baby has the same physical identity as the mother.  My artwork can never have the same physical identity as I do. 

My artwork is more like Mr. Wilson from Cast Away.  Do you remember?

I talk to my artwork just like Tom Hanks talked to Mr. Wilson.  And yes, I do have to admit I do cry when something happens to my Mr. Wilsons or for that matter when they leave me. 
Mr. Wilson was Tom Hanks conscious when he was alone.  For me, my artwork is my conscious and the only object that understands me because it is me. It is a one on one life, alone, living with my artwork.

As this month progresses, I will be posting all my Mr. Wilsons that have left me and are now in someone's home.
