Are you blessed with a lack of focus?

Recently I attended an exhibit at the Philadelphia Museum of Art called, "Outsider Art."

This was the collection of the Boronskys, a couple who saw genius expressed in art by people considered "fringe" members of the times in which they lived.

The art included charcoal-dust drawings by a coal miner who had no other art supplies; room-sized mosaics from bits and pieces of flotsam ranging from broken jewelry to toy soldiers; small-scale cityscapes rich with architecture made of spray-painted gold and silver chicken bones; mobiles and whirlygigs that connecting an artist to healing energies from outer space.

This is the genius of those who think differently.

Many outsider artists lived in prisons, insane asylums, even on the streets. They were not medicated and thus, they were free to feel and express their vision.

Is that crazy...or genius?
