Perhaps exploration and revelation is more of an accurate description of the creative process than "self-expression". Exploration goes beyond the self, and is driven by seeking the authentic truth even at an unconscious level. Struggling with how a piece is evolving and participating in the process is to develop personally through creativity. Developing and sharing that exploration and revelation is not separate from the environment or community. Even when our creations are disturbing and we question their value, they will be more likely to heal rather than damage society. Choosing to participate in creativity is to trust the process of exploration and allow the flow to lead. It is just my opinion that we are never meant to control the process, but to be a willing participant.
