I don't know about the rest of you but when I saw, sometimes I get to thinking about the darnest things. Today while working on an intarsia piece, I was wondering - When does craft become art?
For me, craft becomes art when the work isn't mass produced but made to be original and not just like the last one. I consider something art when I can feel, see or touch a peice and get MORE from it than what is on the surface. For example, I look for the spirit of the animal in a wildlife piece, or the personality of a person in a portrait.
How about you - when does "craft" become "art"?
