Q: For artists, "self" knowledge is sometimes discovered through the process of creating art OR is establishing "self" a prerequisite for creation?
A: I believe that "self" is discovered through the process of creating art. I am a process type person, I love working constantly on something and allowing it to change over time. I am not doubting the people who believe that by establishing themselves they can create art or whatever the case may be but I do believe that art reveals a lot about the person creating it there for "self" knowledge is discovered through the process of creating art.
The ending quote is a good one to leave off with:
"Each person is granted the liberty to determine who is the "I" who pledges allegiance;
who announces "I do" at a wedding ceremony; who hereby promises to honor,
or protect, or protest; and Who Creates and Observes Works of Art."
In the end we are who we set out to be. We can either learn from the lessons life dishes out or run from it. Will we be able to look in the mirror 20 years from now and be happy with who we are? Who knows if we were endowed with Hindsight than life would be rather boring ^_^
