Delusion

This subject features a lot.

On the subject of Big Foot - says Johnny, 'It's to do with delusion - you can't do my sort of paintings unless you are deluded - because only you can believe it can have the depth.

I've been watching a programme about Yeti and Big Foot.  I don't believe it, but it's been interesting to listen to people who believe he is real - like UFOs, if I'm into reality, I've got to believe in UFOs.

Reality doesn't really exist - it's a state of mind.  When you are in a dream, it does exist and while you are in it, you are living it.  What sense have I made out of it?  It's something to do with spirituality and the need for a human being  to believe in something out of this world - and this is where reality comes in- they've invented for their own reasons, gods for people to believe in.'

The Studio - what about the feet?

I do wonder who 'they' are.  Because if they are we and we are they, is this  a collective delusion? Or maybe selective delusion ... or elective delusion - and exactly what quorum is required for the confirmation of reality ... or delusion ..?

Johnny makes me think.  They maybe ridiculous thoughts, but it's fun to play around!  'So what's your painting 'Big Foot' like?' I ask.
'Black,' says Johnny.
