"I don't suppose you do know precisely what you are after. I don't think in the creative process anyone quite knows. They have a vague idea –– a beckoning, an inkling of some truth. It is only in the process that it comes to any clarity. Sometimes, indeed often, we work on a theme with an unformed idea, and when it has passed through the process, its final result is something we never could have predicted when we commenced."
–– Lawren Harris (1885-1970), Canadian landscape painter and member of the Group of Seven
