I would just add that I have recently removed all items from my walls as I couldn’t justify them being there. I don’t seem to be able to find anything that says something I feel strongly enough for in order to hang it on the walls of my home. And I would never hang my own work up as that would suggest I consider it to be art which would be extremely big headed of me. It would be like saying my work is beautiful!

Please allow me a suggestion ... because I don't understand somehow your line of thinking , and do forgive me if I sound totally rude or cynical ! .. ..

What about hanging something that can inspire you on a cause or an ideal ??? ..... something of meaning to your existence and/or that is made by using your own God given talent ? It seems to me such a pity to waste time, ability and creative talent looking for 'solutions' without really being aware or knowing exactly where you want to go and what you want to do with your ambitions ? ... use an IDEAL/S as a map to give you directions ....something you truly believe in and are passionate about .. or just write an statement on your ... beautiful like a plain canvas walls ready to be given the treatment of thought ... and then perhaps it just maybe the answer to your call ...

Generally anything that hangs on a wall is usually there on artistic merit. Now the central question in the branch of philosophy known as aesthetics is 'what is art?' and is based on the notion of beauty. So to hang something on your wall is to recognize it as artistic and therefore suggests that you believe it to hold some kind of beauty. By that wouldn’t it be rather big headed and a tad distasteful to hang your own work up?

Until now I had various items including Roy Lichtenstein posters on my wall but thought to myself as a creative i am doing myself an injustice by promoting the work of others when I should be more concerned with my own work. But again I would never hang my own work up and so now my walls are bare. It is a vicious cycle and I can’t see an answer to the problem. Maybe the fact that I am leaving them bare is the answer? A political statement?

Perhaps by leaving the walls totally bear it gives you the space and the time to think about what should be really there ......
