All creative acts engage cause and effect, action and reaction.
Yet some combinations of artistic activity generate peculiar responses that expand past the limits of the expected. The viewer, the listener, and at times, the artist, may be swept up in energies within the psyche that do, in fact, transcend the aesthetic event, and perspectives may be altered in ways that lead to deeper understandings and broader perceptions.
And it should go without saying that the nature of such power is not always understood.
