Repost from @therealkristaf 🖤🖤 • :: One of my earliest visual influences was the artwork on album covers. From childhood well into adulthood I admired the visual culture of the music industry. This one is a dream come full circle. A true honor to have one of my works adorn the cover of the maestras @blackearthmuse & @lisaeverything's recent release "EarthSeed" @fperecs. Massive. 🙌🏾🖤💥 (Art from SEED (The Book of Eve), inspired by #octaviaebutler) #kristafranklin #lisaharris #nicolemitchell #blackearthensemble #benlamargay #tomekareid #fperecords https://www.instagram.com/p/CDB4qiDJ69O/?igshid=phcep21xgzcd

"Art has to be a kind of confession. I don’t mean a true confession in the sense of that dreary magazine. The effort it seems to me, is: if you can examine and face your life, you can discover the terms with which you are connected to other lives, and they can discover them, too — the terms with which they are connected to other people. This has happened to every one of us, I’m sure. You read something which you thought only happened to you, and you discovered it happened 100 years ago to Dostoyevsky. This is a very great liberation for the suffering, struggling person, who always thinks that they are alone. This is why art is important. Art would not be important if life were not important, and life is important. Most of us, no matter what we say, are walking in the dark, whistling in the dark. Nobody knows what is going to happen to them from one moment to the next, or how one will bear it. This is irreducible. And it’s true for everybody. Now, it is true that the nature of society is to create, among its citizens, an illusion of safety; but it is also absolutely true that the safety is always necessarily an illusion. Artists are here to disturb the peace. They have to disturb the peace. Otherwise, chaos."
