Art is Shared

The more I write, the more I am finding I don't like the idea that art is under the sole ownership of the person who wrote it. I'm not advocating that artist's not be paid for their work, or that record labels, publishers or art galleries should own exclusive rights to any artwork. I am saying the opposite. Artist's don't write, paint or play for themselves. Yes, there is a release from creating, but there is also a cry for relation. I cannot write a piece of work for myself, in the sense that I intend to find someone, anyone that will look at it and say, 'I feel like this was written for me.'
I don't think I am alone in thinking that if I were to write for myself I would feel terribly alone. In fact, I fear being alone more than death. Art is everyone. The audience, the writer, the collaborator, we all take ownership. If we can't relate to each other as humans, then we cannot relate at all.
