musings on capitalism

If I could do anything I wouldn't be an illustrator, I would create land art, let it be destroyed everyday and create it again, not for any institution or any organisation just for me - selfishly. But we live in a society which requires trade - we are capitalists CONSUMERISTS and we cant escape it. I need a licence to own chickens and live off the land, I need to buy a passport to move from one place to another. We have fit our entire world into systems and boxes and its virtually inescapable. I think in some ways we've trapped ourselves. Can I not just create art for arts sake and NO OTHER REASON? no, because I need money to s u r v i v e. money controls us, constricts us, consumes us.
