Art is an Existential Thing for my fellow artist Franziska Art is an essential thing By which I lose myself to find Myself as I lose my mind Certainty in uncertainty What I make that makes me too Gives what it takes as what I do Gives me a reason to be As consequentially the thing Buffering the suffering Of having been uncertainly Making new reality Taking nothing making something Being consequentially Becoming part of everything Ars longa vita brevis And my only certainty is This is the reason for me Art is an existential thing Steven Curtis Lance
