In Art,
The Process is a Ritual in which the Product is the Art Object.
There is Art in Ritual.
There is Ritual in Art.
The Process and the Product are synchronous.
The Process and the Product suggest a certain element of Zen.
But Process can also be…
Frustration.
Working out an idea.
Failing. Succeeding. Learning. Iterating.
All of the craftsperson goes into the Product.
All of their thoughts, ideas, knowledge, and experience.
Their personality, fears, hopes, and attitudes.
The atmosphere and energies of all become clear.
Even in the music selection.
To the artist:
Craft with awareness.
