Quote: "My 'stories' are acts of encapsulated in time, 'enacted' every time they are spoken aloud or read silently. I like to think of them as performances and not as inert and 'dead' objects (as the aesthetics of Western culture think of art works.) Instead, the work has an identity; it is a "who" or "what" and contains the presences of persons, that is, incarnations of god or ancestors or natural and cosmic powers. The work manifests the same needs as a person, it needs to be 'fed'.
Question: Going off this quote, do you believe that our work and thoughts need to be constantly reworked and revamped in order to keep them "alive"? How would you qualify "feeding" your art?
