outsider artists

Here's another example of Art Brut: Ferdinand Cheval. Also, Helen Martins.

What did the conversation of outsider art make you think about? What issues does this bring up about the ownership of work / material (by artist, audience, art buyer, etc.)? What kinds of ethical dilemmas were in this conversation?

Also, what do you think about Cheval's work? Martin's work? What does making a new "place" mean? These people actually cultivated whole landscapes based on their ideas. How is this like your texts? Like writing?
