Default Re: what do artists get out of creating art

At the risk of sounding glib:

To express the unexpressible
as best as I can.


I do kinetic dioramic art. When I begin a piece I realize immediately that I’ll never accomplish the goal of fully communicating the idea behind the piece. Because I myself am unaware of the true nature of my vision. I choose to express it best I can as a pseudo-exorcism of the “demon.” I don’t express by choice but by necessity.


edit: there's nothing "tortured" (I save this or my writing!) about this perspective. It's simply a matter of emptying a glass before it overflows of its own accord.
