what I'm saying is, on a certain level, subject doesn't matter since art is necessarily a step removed. and that's what bothers me and makes me feel like it's frivolous, cause its necessarily divorced and that, in my mind, diminishes it's power. I know this is me being hard and placing unnecessary value judgements against myself, but since it isn't dealing immediately with the matter at hand, by being say a politician rather than political artist, that's where I feel guilty even if I know I wouldn't be so good at that anymore since I indulged so hard
