Ono's art has always been participatory but has also been very aware of its value. What was wonderful about "Bells for Peace" at C […]
- ...but I've written it.How much is there left in the tank? I wonder about this. Writing is so much more than just putting words on the page, but about the harnessing of some cosmic energy, that is both within you and outside of you. If the drive to write was always there, then what if then it stops? I think I will always be creative, its innate within me, but writing...what is it […]
