Trevor Butcher - Artist
001-For the love of figures
I ran into a feminist who refused to publish my comment on her blog item on a UK feminist blog group because she refused to accept it based on it not being evidence. OK, I thought, sounds fair enough, but I probed further and discovered she wasn't a feminist at all, she was a hierarchy climber who loved statistics to the point it blinded her to the values of loving her fellow human beings. She is of the type common in government offices - can give you no end of suggestions but if you don't fit her model you will be excluded.
I also read somewhere that art works best when the distance between art and experience is as short as possible. Well, I have outlined my experience, here is my art :)
