The thing for me isn...This was very entertaining. <br /><br />The thing for me isn't the ability to successfully mimic or pretend, but being able to recognise that something unfamiliar, or previously disregarded, can come to be important and rewarding. <br /><br />I also loved the way the graffiti artist had a sense of the criteria for great graffiti - blending, scale, shape, authenticity. I like the way that what might have seemed haphazard actually had structure, rigour, development ...<br /><br />One criticism I did have was the idea that you need to shed one identity to try something new - can't a graffiti artist in tweeds bring something a bit special to it? Does slavish imitation always help people develop insights and new understanding? Maybe James should have customised his brogues and made those cravats work for him!<br /><br />SorenSoren Haweshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02739846899891030611noreply@blogger.com
