The struggle is to use anything and everything in order to find one's way, and on the other hand, to avoid the cliche and cleverness of easy solutions. There is often a misunderstanding between how something is done and the aesthetic of the final result. This is the difference between the well crafted object and a work of art. The well crafted object is often limited by being beautifully decorated or superficially marked, but the real struggle is to go beyond this: to try to leave a personal mark that reflects the maker's values. When it works, the attributes of mystery, enlightenment, energy, surprise, provocation, and searching are likely to be memorable and satisfying over a long period of time.
