random thought....

As I scramble to explore six artists by the end of the day, I wonder if our perspective of things are skewed when we have less time to spend on things. For example, I've noticed that as I click on the artists in the Wiki book, I immediately press back if I am not initially drawn to a piece of work. There have been many artists I click on and if I do not like the image on the screen I will not even read about what the piece is about. Is this a natural response or would I spend time reading about this piece of work if I had more time? The sad thing is I realized I probably would do the exact same thing I am doing now, skipping over artists I am not drawn to right away. In concerns to taste, am I hindering by taste by not allowing it to expand? There have been artists in the past I have hated but over time, as I was exposed to more of their work and learned more about them, ended up liking them. I wonder when this point comes though where you let yourself be open to something you may not like at first or when you just let your natural reaction take preference.

just something to think about...
