There is a strong connection between exploration, personal growth, and being present, through creating art. Working and making ideas into real forms requires determination but leads to discovery. Creating art moves people to a better understanding of themselves and the world. It is a narrative of consistnently moving toawrds a balance of seeing, knowing, attitude, and wonder over a period of time. An artist's journey is not a definite path. There are moments of stagnation and frustration, then moments of clarity, action, and creation. Enclosed is a moment in time where an idea became reality. It is an example of actively pursuing an idea to a more final stage, creating something that is tangible and exist in the world. It shows the importance of process. A moment of making and all that comes with it. / Foreword
