Art=Food for Consciousness

John C. Wilson is an actor, director, pot-thrower, pie-baker, board member Theatre Project, graphics designer, and bookmaker.
Robert Hitz is a musician, composer, producer, educator, recording artist, and improvisor.

Before the interview, John, Robert and I free-wrote on the prompt:  does art change the world?
Robert free-wrote a gorgeous essay:
Is there actually a world without art?  It seems that the whole of creation, a rather large universe as we currently understand, is an expression.  An expression of force, chemicals, electric, radiant, cosmic and seismic shifts - into the wondrous equation we have life consciousness and self knowledge.  This is where our part of the expression comes in.  It is the sentient perspective that we wish to express, to communicate who we are, what we feel, touch the mystery of the whole thing.  It is a really magical existence to contemplate but the ride is made even more amazing by "telling out" of the story from each of our perspectives.  This expression gives meaning to our lives, both validation but equally important, the ability to communicate, to share, and to change this wonderful thing one person at a time.  One piece of art at a time.
