"Most of what we inherit is so clearly correct it goes unseen. It fits
the world seamlessly. It IS the world. But despite its richness and
variability, the well-defined world we inherit doesn't quite fit each
one of us, individually. Most of us spend most of our time in other
peoples' worlds-- working at predetermined jobs, relaxing to
pre-packaged entertainment-- and no matter how benign this ready-made
world may be, there will always be times when something is missing or
doesn't quite ring true. And so you make your place in the world by
making part of it-- by contributing some new part to the set. And surely
one of the more astonishing rewards of artmaking comes when people make
time to visit the world YOU have created. Some, indeed, may even
purchase a piece of your world to carry back and adopt as their own.
Each new piece of your art enlarges OUR reality. The world is not yet
done."
