It's funny because last week I was just defending the importance of
process, as opposed to only viewing "the finished product".

But, at the same time I don't believe in fetishizing the process, as
being more important than what results from a process. A process, in
my view, needs to be evaluated pragmatically: does it work? is it a
useful process? and yes, does it lead to "good results", including
artworks that are aesthetically interesting.
