Arting, creating, or -- as Atom Johnson might say -- evermaking, all refer to more or less the same thing. One takes some material -- or combination of materials -- and plays with it. It is a type of play marked by deep -- even monomaniacal -- intention, as well as by a persistent love for -- and extreme attention to -- the materials and process at hand. Once the playing is done, something is left behind. That is the artwork. An art piece is the witness to the event that created it. It is a cultural artifact whose worldly worth can only be decided by those who desire to possess it, and by paying to possess it, encourage the sort of play which created it in the first place.
