November 12, 2012

Inscape (visual art). - I found this today. Put in really simple, short terms, it means your interior landscape. Showing, in visual art, what makes you “you”.

Hi, I really like this definition. We all show our inerscape in various ways and perhaps not always in artistic ways. But who’s to say whats artistic and whats not artistic just because it’s not painted etc. I like to think my very busy son with 2 young children is showing us his inerscape with parenting his wee girls in such a loving, kind way even tho he doesn’t have time for “artistic” stuff right now.

Everything we really have comes from inside us and the experiences we bring and create to add to that. I really thought it was an interesting concept.

“We are the people of the book. We love our books. We fill our houses with books. We treasure books we inherit from our parents, and we cherish the idea of passing those books on to our children. Indeed, how many of us started reading with a beloved book that belonged to one of our parents? We force worthy books on our friends, and we insist that they read them. We even feel a weird kinship for the people we see on buses or airplanes reading our books, the books that we claim. If anyone tries to take away our books—some oppressive government, some censor gone off the rails—we would defend them with everything that we have. We know our tribespeople when we visit their homes because every wall is lined with books. There are teetering piles of books beside the bed and on the floor; there are masses of swollen paperbacks in the bathroom. Our books are us. They are our outboard memory banks and they contain the moral, intellectual, and imaginative influences that make us the people we are today.”
