Fiedler Reading

            After reading Fiedler, On Judging Works of Visual Art, a particular passage resonated with my interminable quest for satisfaction. The numeric section eight described the artist as only capable of creating fragmentary expressions. This is descriptive of the time I spend in my studio with this heavy feeling that I am not communicating my idea well enough through the medium in use. Regardless of how mundane my idea/expression is, it is never completely communicated. It is this disatisfaction which causes us to go back to the drawing board immediately after we have pushed out a series. It is the incomplete expression which keeps us constantly thinking of new angles to present it. "The inner activity which the artist generates from the driving forces of his nature only now and then rises to expression as artistic feat, and this feat does not represent the creative process in its entire course, but only a certain state."
