"Making art, whether you do it solo or in a group, derives its patterns from everything around us, in an inter-dependent network. We learn to work as nature does, with the material of ourselves: our body, our mind, our companions, and the radical possibilities of the present moment." - Stephen Nachmanovitch, The Art of Is
