Thanks Tracy! I think this wider frame – its a generational shift and we can’t really say or know whats going to happen – diffuses some of the knee jerk reactions to whats going on. I 100% think craft is important, and this also links in with the on going dialogue about ‘taste’. As the artist develops their craft, so must the audience actively develop its taste. As I wrote in my human gunk post the other week and in the conclusion of this post we must all do a better job of examining the ‘context’ of the work as it arrives by the invisible algorithm.

Looking forward to reading your thoughts!

I feel like I had a 🤯 moment reading it and it’s given me a puzzle piece I’ve been missing for how I’m thinking about the value of *craft* in this moment… need to ponder this more 😄
