I think as far as minimalism is concerned, I might be being unfair here, but to me that's the kind of thing where we need to talk about super-duper minimalism. And increasingly these days, I'm looking for some sweet spot where it's kind of abstract. It's not really a direct representation, photo-realistic or anything like that, but there's also some meaning there. There's some extra layers that mean something that refer to something in the outside world in some clever way. You can sort of get the point, nod, and then move on. So, I think it has a place, but it's of the moment.
Welcome to the May 2023 Ask Me Anything episode of Mindscape! These monthly excursions are funded by Patreon supporters (who are also the ones asking the questions). We take questions asked by Patreons, whittle them down to a more manageable number — based primarily on whether I have anything interesting to say about them, not whether the questions themselves are good — and sometimes group them together if they are about a similar topic. Enjoy!
