Meta-Art
“It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.” –Henry David Thoreau, Walden, 1854
Meta-Art: One way to “go meta” is to think about how art, metaphors, and images can shape your experience with cancer.
