Call to Artist: Love Will Keep Us Together

Love.

What does it bring to mind?

Family? Dating? Sex? Hate? Sentimentality? Couples? Religion? Morality? Ethics? Red heartshaped

balloons? Valentines Day? Hallmark cards? Spring? Eros? Cupid? Longing?

Commitment? Confinement? Freedom? Loss?

The word, 'love,' is a Rorschach test of one's mental state. It is also a deep, but difficult to pin

down and highly transient emotional state. It can even be a call to social action, selfexamination,

or affirmation of communal morality.
