Expression Is A Collaboration With Existence & Selfs-Experience
Nothing begins with us.
The more we pay attention, the more we begin to realize that all the work we ever do is a collaboration.
It's a collaboration with the art that's come before you and the art that will come after. It's also a collaboration with the world you're living in. With the experiences you've had. With the tools you use. With the audience. And with who you are today. p89
... There is no direct conversion from abstract thought to the material world. The work is always an interpretation. There are many different hats the artist wears, and creativity is an internal discussion between these aspects of self. Then negotiation continues until the selfs create the best work they can together. p90
