sometimes, a greater impact can be made when you take things away. take art for instance — a single, simple piece of artwork can speak volumes all on its very own. its negative space can be jarring, and eye-catching all on its very own. and so affordable, too — one of something is less expensive than lots, right? i think starting small with something you truly love can be the best way to start collecting art, and if it never grows beyond that one precious piece, c’est la vie — it will speak to you, and in the end that’s all that really matters when it comes to something so subjective as art.
