Artists see and think with keen beliefs and insights. I believes this matters immensely, since it takes one outside of our own personal perceptions, and shares new insights. To paraphase A. Huxley, ‘the mind once stretched, never returns to its original dimensions’. Expansion of consciousness affects the way we live and experience the world.
