No room in my mind for junk T.V., no room in my house for a couch. Working from sun up to down, painting and writing kids’ books, my living room is crowded with pictures. And I’m still trying to untangle the world. It’s in a twist like the abstract painting below.
I watch various programs on screen but pause most everything to argue with it. It’s not unusual for a one hour program to last two. “That’s not how it is if you read history.” or “I just read an article in Science Magazine which adds a little to…” My husband says, “You think watching anything on a screen is a debate.” This he says as an observation not complaint.
“yea,” I say, “And I see our marriage is a debate too. It’s a good thing you aren’t my Dad. He couldn’t look sideways without me challenging him, poor man. I’m just trying to make sense of the world.”
“You don’t watch to relax do you?” he laughs.
“You’ve never seen me lay on the couch and watch T.V. have ya?” To see more outsider art, also known as Art Brut or Visionary art see nancymauerman.com
