The Curator’s Voice.

There is a piece of art I keep coming back to. It is not mine. I didn't make it.

But I have looked at it more times than I can count, and every time, I feel something shift.

That is what purple octopus art is about. Not just making art. Not just displaying it. But what happens when you sit with something someone else made from the hardest thing they've ever lived through, and you recognize yourself in it.

This is where I write. Once a month. A piece of art, a thought, a topic I cannot leave alone. Sometimes a guest voice. Always honest.

I’m glad you're here.
