Art as prayer…
Another practice i “do” is to actually photograph as an act of worship or prayer, that is as a place of meeting God. That’s generally how i make art, and even if i don’t love the art afterwards, i have communed, feel loved and seen, and allowed others to overhear that conversation!
Art as an act of prayer is underrated! Or just not practiced often enough!
We usually create to express, but when we create to meet and be transformed, something else happens in the process!
The content is about the meeting as much as the subject! Van Gogh had that. So no need to make overtly religious art, just meet God as you create, and it will be spiritual! Then, the audience gets to overhear your spirituality, which to me, is over half the point! In this sense art is priestly!
