Basic forms and ornament are set beyond performance, and,
like a concert pianist, the artist surrenders design and
situates creativity in the constricted realm of technology.
It might be that, needing money, artists make things they do
not admire, that might please the patron/institution but
cannot stand as fully achieved signs of creative competence.
