Commandment III: Thou shalt not deny thine own artistic self.
The art objects at first seem to be what matters. But in the end, they are only the markers left behind along what matters most--the journey. This is not a journey of self-indulgence, but a journey of self-awareness. It is a journey of engaging the world to find the self in it.
Art must challenge the world while it challenges the self, probing deeply and fearlessly into both. For the artistic self can only be true if it is embedded in the experience of the world. To deny the artistic self is to deny the very thing the world asks of you.
