"The art is
real" is a common response from visitors at the
Center. They don't mean 'real' as in realistic, but as
meaning authentic. The paintings and drawings, obviously
not the product of art projects, are understood as
personalized creations by the patients we call
'neighbors'. In some instances, I wonder whether these
creations result from choices or propensities.
Essentially, the distinction is between mental processes
and intuition. Artists/neighbors whose work has evolved
over a period of time achieve a balance between their
propensities and the choices they continually make.
