Breath New Life into the Forgotten Known
One person's trash is another person's treasure, so the saying goes. And for artists, this couldn't be truer. Society's junk, the things people discard or no longer want, can be the raw materials that artists use to create new and beautiful works of art.
Whether it's old pieces of furniture, scrap metal, discarded electronics, or even abandoned buildings, artists have found ways to turn these unwanted items into something unique and beautiful. With a little imagination and creativity, they can take these materials and turn them into something entirely new, breathing new life into what was once considered junk. Society is constantly shoving what is New down our throats disregarding what we Knew. But what we knew is what we've known and knowledge helps us discern what is of Renown. Renown is the key to unlocking Kingdom in History. We cant put on the Crown of Renown until people Know our history.
Resist the Thirst For New
But why do artists find such value in society's junk? Perhaps it's because these discarded items carry with them a history and a story. They represent the lives and experiences of those who once owned them, and the memories that were created around them. By incorporating these items into their artwork, artists are able to tap into those stories and create something that is not only beautiful but also deeply meaningful. But why do people throw away what they owned? I believe its because of societies deception of the word New. Every new thing that comes causes people to judge what they knew. Things decay and people think they are worthless because of their thirst for New. All their thirst for New causes them to discard their own Crown of Renown.
Put On The Crown of Renown
Using society's junk as inspiration and material can also be a way for artists to comment on our throwaway culture. In a society that often values the newest and shiniest objects, using discarded items can be a powerful statement about the true value of things.
In the end, the beauty of society's junk is that it can be transformed into something entirely new and unexpected. It is a testament to the power of creativity and the ability to see beauty in the most unexpected places. Artists need to Know the Deception of New more than anyone. While we may use a junked car for the back drop of a photograph we must also not throw away our Negatives. We must not discard our Photographs and Films as junk sitting on a shelf or burned in a folder on a hard drive. These works must be used as historical Knowledge Leading People Into the Know so that Artists can put on the Crown of Renown and establish their kingdom.
So the next time you come across a discarded item, think twice before you toss it away. It could be the raw material for the next great work of art.
