“We make in order to know, we offer something up freely, gratuitously, not for gain, but as an end in itself...great art is not about transcribing something that happened...it’s an act of encountering...where artist and recipient are creating new meaning in each new encounter...the work has enough generative energy...always new...making new associations in each individual mind...” -Gregory Wolfe

“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.” -Isaiah 43:18-19 NIV
