Sentences on Conceptual Art by Sol Lewis

28. Once the idea of the piece is established in the artist's mind and the final form is decided, the process is carried out blindly. There are many side effects that the artist cannot imagine. These may be used as ideas for new works.

From what I've read, it seems that once an artist has a goal or final image in mind, he or she will only work toward that one goal. While striving for this one final image, he or she may not see new opportunities for possibilities for new pieces. Even when the final form has been decided, it may not even turn out the way the artist has imagined it. The process of working on a piece should be just as important as the final piece itself, if not even more so.
