Andy Thanks for your comment Ellen – I totally agree about the sense of being a channel – there have been times that I’ve created things and had no idea where they came from… because it didn’t feel like it was coming from me, but through me – now that is my goal – to work in that place as much as possible.

I liken the process as midwifery--the artist is a mid-wife or even a channel to some kind of energy that flows through her. Great art is felt as much as seen (or in the case of music, heard).

I love the process of creating and you are right, the sooner the artist gets out of the way and let's the art create itsself, the better. My best pieces occur when "nobody's home" in my brain. Kudos~ Tam I Am Andy~
