“Every piece an artist creates is the product of what that artist has 
observed, considered, imagined, lived, and collected.  It is both 
culmination and artifact.  And for the true artist, every creation is one 
more step on a journey with no clear destination . . . a breadcrumb in a 
fairy tale, a cairn beside a mountain trail, a sign intended both to guide 
others and to mark where the explorer has been.”—Peter Turchi, Director, 
Piper Center for Creative Writing, Arizona State University
