Margaret, I read The Obstacle Race when I was in my twenties and it opened my eyes. At the time, as I said, I didn't think any of it applied to me--how could it in this age of liberation? But I remember becoming determined not to fall into any of the destructive patterns described by Germaine Greer. I've often thought I lack the "worship" gene, but now I'm thinking it was the influence of that book which steered me away from unproductive situations and attitudes. I would recommend it to any artist.
Richard, thanks for your thoughts on the matter. I cannot agree with you more that art should be judged entirely on its own merit.
Carol, I always have signed my work with "AT" and the date. I never thought to question why, but I think it started when I was a child and someone (maybe my father) told me to initial everything I drew. Old habits die hard!
