Process? Pretty much sums up every portion of our daily lives if you think about it. For everyone of us it is different, leads to different outcomes, fulfilling or not. In art it is inherent, the object can not come to exist without it. Regardless of the medium, if it is "craft" or "fine art", the process is individual and unique.

I have been thinking about where it begins for me. It is hard to be sure because the beginnings of new things always seem to come from the endings of the old. I think maybe it comes from my interactions and observations throughout the day. They seem to trigger these things that I only feel briefly before falling asleep at night. Which translate into images and objects, lines and curves, shapes and volume.

For me the process itself is still about the creation of an object. The endpoint. That is regardless of the success or failure of the object its self. Usually by the time I am finished the object means very little, it is the work, the steps taken to achieve it, the conversation with peers and the experience of creating that matter the most.
