Discussions about the separation of artists and their art are not new. The subject has been discussed for centuries, usually in the context of legacy, but in recent times, and especially with the rise of cancel culture, the question more often comes up in relation to the behavior of an artist.

Does the conduct of an artist negate the appreciability of their art?

In this episode, Thom invites us to consider artworks from the perspective of Cosmic influence, and offers a simple measure we can use to assess what that level of influence might be.

Episode Highlights:

[00:45] What Are You?

[02:52] Me-ness in Art

[04:40] The Works of Something Deeper

[06:37] Artistic Expression of the Unified Field of Consciousness

[09:01] What Makes Some Art Forgettable?

[10:13] Cosmic Influence in Art

[12:33] When the Medium Becomes the Art

[14:27] Cosmic and Individualistic Layers of Art
