Daniel Marder
Creativity isn't an external power It comes from within, applied throughout an artist's life. This isn't so much a vocation as a means of ordering the Universe through the individual's understanding of what works and why, some call that "Creativity". I just don't know how to switch it off. Some call that obsession "drive", but it feels like insanity. That urge to work through something to its compleation or distruction is what makes the great problem solvers of the world. I don't often have means or acess to the larger issues I make Art. Making Art is really the only other thing that requires all of the mental energy and focus of a obsessed detail oriented mad scientist trapped in a guy without a day jobs' body.
