Sense of the primate @_@

   
Something that has inspired my over the years is animals. I feel that by observing their behaviors, and actions that I can create something to mimic their attitudes. Either by making it soft, spicy, or something that represents the behavior that I noticed while observing an animal. Monkey, apes, and chimps all have inspired me by their unpredictable behavior. Jand Goodall was one of my inspiration was when I observed animal behaviors in zoos, park, T.V., and online. I see that animals can mimic our behaviors as well. By being coy, shy, jealous, angry, murderous, vindictive, hateful, kind, open, loving, and willingness to follow what they believe. Animals have their instincts intact, and use it every day. We however, don't have that luck. We use more logic, and reasoning. True not all of us use it, but it's there for us to fall back on.
    Animals have a strong sense of self. They know who they are, they don't care who knows in their family, pack, group, flock, etc. Yet we are confused in many ways as in terms of sense of self with personality, sexual orientation, and trying to impress others to be accepted. Animal have this problem as well, but not to such a degree as humans due. Having that knowledge about them inspires me to be free. To not be afraid, and to not care about what others want to use me for. We are who we are. No doubt. It's all about how we get to the point where we are most happy in our lives with who we are. I feel art is the same. We may not know what our destination art wise will be, but we go through the journey to get there. We will eventually get to the point where we are happy with our art. We will have more than one of these moments in our lives when it comes to art. We maybe hateful toward one piece, but loving another piece we have created.
