Applied Chaos is for people who want to invest their art with the substance of lives lived fully, individuals who are multi-disciplinary, who do not restrict themselves to a particular definition of Art, but rather develop work with integrity, soul, and the resulting fine craftsmanship. It is open to the full-time artist, serious amateurs and beginners, collectors, buyers, suppliers, and anyone who has ever asked :
Who is doing beautiful work in my field of interest? What books are available? Which are truly useful? What tools are needed? Who is teaching in my area? Where do I find carragheen in bulk? Who handcrafts silver box hinges? How do you pronounce ziricote, where can you buy it, and why did I get this bland brown wood when I thought I was buying the wildly-figured chocolate stuff?
Is this work any good? How do I sell it? I loved making this jewelry box (sweater, scarf, photograph, song); how can I find that one person who will value the soul I invested in this special, beautiful work?
Where can I buy the jewelry box that will protect my Margaret Barnaby necklace with the same care she put into making the piece?
What is a real artist?
