Perhaps what we all desire to achieve with our art is to provide some manner by which tranquility can be achieved. Whether this is by venting the pent up aggression in us that stems from unaddressed angst or to find a way of transmitting a notion or a feeling of peace through paper, electron, photon, sound wave or ink blot, the desire for equilibrium is the same. I think all people have this desire, but artists are a curious lot— they are acutely aware that they are unable to achieve personal equilibrium, and thus creativity is born out of the roiling boil that’s in their minds.
