I realized that most of the worlds great art was done in public places, not in
proud isolation, she says. Particularly children spend an incredible amount of
time watching. And so, I felt as if I was doing something useful.
SUBHED: Art as Service
(Pull Quote)
Its a window into the way different mental disciplines think.
Audrey Ushenko
Ushenko rejects the common stereotype of the artist working in proud
isolation, locked away in a studio far from the public eye. Instead, she believes
art can beand often iscreated in service of something else entirely.
And in fact, she says, art is not just easel painting and sculpture. Its not only
carved stylizing, but the design of motors. Art has many manifolds and it has a
million different forms according to its function.
Ushenko flatly rejects the common idea that art is an act of self-expression.
Instead, she says, it is a search for truthjust like any other mental discipline
taught in the halls and classrooms on campusthat becomes self-expression in
the act of being learned.
