" At the very beginning of every creative process is mystery, the inexplicable...One of our strongest motives of our time is the search for explanation, the need to explain everything away. Explanation is one of the means to tame the mystery of art. Talking about mystery has become indecent. Many people consider it pure mystification or a lack of intelligence. They want to identify mystery with problem. And a problem is something which can be reduced into details susceptible to explanation. Mystery cannot be reduced to details. It is a whole which embraces us."
--Magdalena Abakanowicz 1983
Chew on that folks...i gotta raise my hand and say...AMEN!
