The difference between art and craft is that artists always seeks an answer, while crafts people believe they already have it. They know how it should be done and follow this tradition. There’s nothing wrong with this. Icons and Buddhas are wonderful, but, maybe, when the world needs to find answers and new ways to live, it needs its artists more than ever.
In this Magalogue we explore childlike fascinations. Patricia Cain answers questions on her complex weblike paintings, we have the essay from Lotte Glob’s children’s book and consider illona Morrice’s diverse and brilliant portfolio.
