a way in

"Ugly-messy-beautiful.  That brings to mind the Japanese idea of wabi-sabi. 
Which I feel is in a kindred spirit with the artwork I do... I like to SEE the process in the finished work. The best thing I ever saw (well, one of) was Michelangelo’s unfinished sculptures...

 There one could see, frozen in time, the raw act of chipping these figures from the rock. 

How much more interesting that is than a polished image with no “way in” for the viewer!"

–David Ezra Stein in this great interview/conversation
