Reason in madness

Even the artist drives those objects away from his immediate world, whose greatness he can recognize only from a distance, be it spatial or temporal. He retains only those select few objects around him, which he can consecrate and still not lose his breath or sanity.
The artist does not only utilize his tools for the purpose of creation, but also for his preservation. But through the objects he creates, he intends to confront what he had previously driven away into oblivion. That is, his creations come from a distance, they are precisely the conveyors of distance, and in that sense not his objects at all.
