Kismet Arts Tangent

My friend Mike was telling me about a concert he saw recently starring Jason Webley and Amanda Palmer in their Evelyn Evelyn show. He showed me a button depicting the Elephant Elephant (a siamese twin elephant pair, two heads one body) and I thought it was really cool. Over the week, I had this thought, query, “if you could buy happiness, would you?” Yesterday we had a conversation about Happiness and Meaning. He said that he wouldn’t buy happiness because it would have no meaning. He made the distinction that you can’t force happiness (with meaning), you can only find it.

Inspiration for the background from my Japanese Textile book.
The elephant’s names in this painting are Find and Force.
