Where language breaks, art begins. Language routinely fails us in conversations about art and creativity. In the following essay, I elaborate on the reason for this problem and offer three terms which can help give more depth and clarity to our discussions of art.
The three primary experiential aspects of art:
Art-making: verb, a creative act that results in an art-object.
Art-object: noun, a material or immaterial byproduct of art-making.
Artessence: noun, the state of mind of an art experience.
