"IDEAS CAN BE WORKS OF ART; THEY ARE IN A CHAIN OF DEVELOPMENT THAT MAY EVENTUALLY FIND SOME FORM.  ALL IDEAS NEED NOT BE MADE PHYSICAL."

SOL LEWITT



gahh so hard! because i always seem to need to find a way to take my ideas and turn them into something! whether they just be written down.. because maybe i am scared that an idea will leave me? that i will forget it?
but sometimes it is impossible to take an idea and make it concrete, like when you think something in your head and it just makes so much sense but then how to do you explain it? and it never comes out with the same intensity as when you're thinking it and like the less words you use to explain it or the more vague your explanation the easier it can be understood.

ADDITION:
The conceptual artist Sol LeWitt has spoken of his systematic method of creating work as a necessary method for staying true to his original idea.  When relying on emotion, emotion can change day to day and so the piece of art can stray away from its original idea.  By keeping a somewhat systematic method in reviewing art, and not relying on the solely emotional aspect of a piece, it can be described and explained while still staying true to its original idea and having it be understand it a clear manner.  This of course does not mean that emotion should never take place in either a piece of art or in its review, but it should definitely be considered as something that is always changing and may cause issues in trying to concretize it.
