At the risk of overexplaining things, I like to have this print in my workspace because I see it as a metaphor for the creative process. There is an ambiguous mass of undifferentiated sensation around us, which we seek to order and control by drawing boundaries. But those boundaries are artificial, and we can see through that artifice. They are imperfect, with gaps, and they are mobile and can be easily repositioned. So when I look at this image, I can contemplate where I want my own boundaries to be, in order to create the harmony and resonance that I seek to evoke.
