“Curiosity then is the lifeblood of what it is to be human, but not merely the curiosity to know what lies over the next hill, or why a flower blossoms, or how a rock transforms, it is also the curiosity to know how you relate to all of those things, and perhaps more importantly, how they relate to you. Creative art is not just about expressing yourself as the ego; it is also about expressing yourself as the larger you. The understanding that you are part of the complexity of life and the universe, known and unknown is probably the most important voyage of discovery and curiosity that you will ever make, That you can then express that innate curiosity through creative artwork, in whatever discipline appeals to you, is a gift not taken up by many, but a vital ingredient in the outward perspective of us all.”
