They say that true art provokes a response in those who view it. positive or negative.
But I think there are many thing that provoke such responses that are not art. Such as clothing, make up, a cliff, water fall, potholes in the road. (though typically no one has anything good to say about that last one)
So even though my skulls elicit many responses and some excitement from people that see them I try not to use that as confirmation that they are specifically art. But I do like the stories people share with me when seeing them.
Last night a man told me about seeing a muskrat racing along the beach, running so fast the breath was whistling from him as he ran. It was a very interesting story that made me want to know more about why the little rodent didn't just head straight to the water if he was seeking safety.
LOL I love the stories people tell me.
Like hearing that a Lynx skull provides no meat worth eating.
Or the way someone else learned about cleaning skulls
Or how they learned about skulls in biology class and they want to test their skill.
There is always satisfaction in that, even if they are slow to sell.
