here's something to mull over:

(thought copyright credited to dave vanderWHAT!)

when you create, and you leave it as something just between you and your art, it is meaningless. art only begins to have meaning when it is communicated to an audience, as long as it isn't to yourself. when this communication takes place, it is an event. think about it: when God created life, he didn't keep it to himself, but rather he involved us and himself in it. creation was an event, as it should be now. the communicating of an artist to an audience should be an event, and within that communication, there should be something to say. why create something that only serves as a tool to fuel your own needs. why not create something for the world, just as God created life for us.
