One of the things I discovered about myself as I traveled around the world last year is that I really like art. All kinds of art. I can spend an entire day in an art museum and have only seen a small portion of what it has to offer. I am especially intrigued by artists who are experimenting with new and unusual media. In the past I have blogged about an artist who builds giant sculptures from balloons, another who makes environmental art from trash, a third who makes three-dimensional works from cutouts such as children might employ to make a snowflake from a folded piece of paper, and even a patient in a mental institution who paints room size murals depicting scenes from his pre-1900 childhood.
Today I received a video of an artist in Texas who paints in what may be the most unusual medium of all – dust. Scott Wade drives around on gravel and dirt roads until his rear window is covered in dust and then….well, you just gotta see for yourself:
After years of working 70 hours a week at jobs I detested, I felt like the proverbial "hole in the donut" - solid on the outside, but empty on the inside. Searching for meaning in my life, I abandoned my successful but unsatisfying career and set out on a six-month solo backpacking trip around the world to pursue my true passions of travel, writing, and photography.
