The act of creating comes as a result of the creator opening the self. When we do this, we allow for the unexpected, spontaneous, immediate and unadorned to enter, and the restrained, fearful and rehearsed to fall away. To live the artist's life, one's greatest struggle is not the medium, nor the workspace nor the income. Rather it is the effort required to open one's self to the unconscious vision. But the reward is so great, engendering such excitement and surrender that we feel lost, as without our lover, when not engaged in the expression of that vision.
