I've always been intrigued by Greenberg's theory that abstract art is the 'purest' form of art. Whenever I feel like I'm lacking inspiration or even just creativity, which I'm always striving for, I try to see art in the world. I don't mean just looking at other artists (though I do that too), I mean trying to visualize art where I wouldn't normally see it. Lately I've been taking photographs of nature in an increasingly abstract way, whether it's a focus on just the texture, or the colors, or a close up of the details; I try to portray the nature as if it's an abstract image. (There should be an image attached - it's an example of what I'm talking about). This is a way for me to try and train my eye and my mind to be able to see see the potential for art everywhere and anywhere, so that hopefully I'll never run out of inspiration or creativity.
