Jeanne Schinto : Obscure Objects of Lapsed Desire

"Only artists can ever destroy their own work without compunction, it seems. Maybe we would all feel better if sanctioned rituals existed for destroying unwanted art. As a Catholic, I learned in childhood that it was a sin to throw away a crucifix, even a broken one. If I wanted to dispose of something like that, the old nuns who taught me said, I had to burn it. I'm lapsed now, but living in our secular society, where art so often substitutes for religion, I think ceremonially incinerating excess art would make a kind of skewed sense." see also : On A-lists and Art.
