just a thought

on the role of the artist
It just occured to me that I would not recognise any of my favourite artists if I were to see them on the street. Maybe its just the type of art I like, it seems the names are known but never the faces. When people participate in artworks; like the few I have put on here as examples, they become nameless faces and the artist a faceless name. People feel some sense of pride at having contributed and are somehow visible, they get to share the fame.
