"Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time." Thomas Merton
When you start creating a piece of art, you may not necessarily know what direction you're going in or what the finish product will be like. You may discover a new direction or a new path you want to take your art work, and in tern, discover something new about yourself. You may not realize you care capable of something unless you just start working at it. This does not only apply to art work, but life in general. You never know what potential you have until you apply it. As far as losing yourself, when you are in the "zone" and nothing can stop you from seeing a vision through, you become lost in your work. Your mind and your subconscious motor skills take over and allow you to create something great.
