=20
At the other end of the concept spectrum is an artist who considers herself=
=20
to be a work in progress, waiting to be inspired and 'completed by nature=20
itself.' Between those poles are artists who 'collaborate' with=20
insects/animals and plants; artists who work with natural forces (a river=20
will 'paint' a canvas for an artist; an artist=B9s painting is left outdoors=
=20
to be altered and "completed" by the freezing temperatures).
