Beautiful and such an important angle to think about. Thanks for writing this it has given me some wonderful hope, encouragement to continue down my pathway as an artist - also a stone carver.

Thanks again...

Counter-argument: an unfortunate truth is that a lot of artists are not heroes. In fact to quote music critic Todd in the Shadows "Most artists are dicks, they're assholes." Picasso was an outright misogynist. Lennon was a terrible husband and father. HP Lovecraft was a xenophobe and a racist. How can we expect artists to be our saviors if they can't even save themselves?
