— Whimsy
Every now and then, my attention is caught by instances of subtle inherent humour, drollery, caprice or mischievousness in the world around me. I see them as artistic in their own right, because of their power to evoke emotion. According to the poet Nikhil Parekh, “Artists are esoterically whimsical.”
