VAL:" Edgy" is going right up to the edge of the cliff and being able to see all the way down, and dancing anyway!
JAKE: What the hell does that mean?
From Daria episode 305, The Lost Girls
What is edgy art? That’s for you to decide! We’re looking for work that embodies a pushing of boundaries and sensibilities - of society, of your medium, of a certain style, of the definitions we associate with different categories of art, or even just your own. We want to see your most experimental, innovative, and daring pieces. Life begins at the end of your comfort zone, and sometimes your best work does as well.
