l'art pour l'art

a friend asked me to define glass just the other day. she works on glass, wire, chrome, etc to come up with unusual and unconventional stuff. i still dont know much about what she does though she has sent me some pictures of her designs and art.
i thought i will personalise this space with the many conversations i have with people from all over the place and from all walks of life, doing their own beautiful and simple things.

now, glass...how would i define it?..umm..quite a difficult query...an
"entity" that is semi liquid, semi solid...malleable in molten state
but brittle whn solid...open to interpretations and myriad
designing...a mirror, nah, a reflecting surface maybe..where images
are rendered as real but is twice removed from reality..
well guess im rambling....u fill me in...
mind's spaced out at work!!!

teme abt ur stuff...and how u go about working on it?

love,
tiki

She writes:

I don't know.
Never made money direct from art that's what you asked.
but work is to spend sometime honestly with a problem,
many people working with instalations deal with glass, broken , mirrowed, and all you said…
I like what you wrot, not so delirious, finding meanings and what is not there.


Art is never POUR, is just art.
bijou.
Sim.

Moi:

i dont much care about the money part as long as one has enough to live a normal life..if u know what i mean! and what are these installlations..can u plz elaborate..and how did u get into the nitty gritties of it?
and art is for the sake of art...when we talk of aesthetic inclinations and the sorts

godspeed.
