Constraining Ideas Into Artistic Expression

There's a time for certain ideas to arrive, and they find a way to express themselves through us p12

Art is a circulation of energetic ideas. What makes them appear new is that they're combining differently each time they come back. p14

Turning something from an idea
into a reality
can make it seem smaller.
It changes from unearthly to earthly.
The imagination has no limit limits.
The physical world does.
The work exists in both. p17

I have noticed this to be true. Certain ideas rise to the surface and need to be expressed, if I don't do it, someone else will. And if I wait too long, the ideas fade back below the surface.

Expression is filtered through us as humans is inherently a constraint on the infinite. It changes from unearthly to earthly, which is an essential element of making it a reality.
