21 | _ART and CRAFT are only the inside and outside of the same building. The | ||
22 | ceiling is_---here he put his eraser to his bottom lip, thinking. He crossed | ||
23 | out _~~The ceiling is.~~_ _The floor is reality and the ceiling is | ||
24 | ~~aspiration~~ ~~desire~~ that which is desired. CRAFT is building a chair | ||
25 | from wood. ART is using the wood as a substrate for an emotional message to a | ||
26 | future person, the READER / VIEWER._ | ||

28 | _The important thing is they are both made of wood. The important thing is | ||
29 | they were both, at one point, alive natural things that grew and changed and | ||
30 | pushed their way out of the dirt into the air. They formed buildings out of | ||
31 | the air. They didn't even try._ | ||
32 | |||
33 | _What separates us from them, the trees? We have to try. We must labor to | ||
34 | create our ART, our buildings of air. We lay them out brick by brick, we | ||
35 | build them up by disintegrating trees and forming them again into what they | ||
36 | were before. Why must we do this? are there any advantages to this human | ||
37 | method?_ | ||
38 | |||
39 | _Our advantage is memory. Our advantage is the reaching-out over space and | ||
40 | time to others with our words, our ART. Our buildings last for generations, | ||
41 | and after they are demolished they are written about, photographs are taken, | ||
42 | we **remember**. The act of memory is our only ART._ | ||
