“Before I start carving, the idea must be almost complete. I say ‘almost’ because the really important thing seems to be the sculptor’s ability to let his intuition guide him over the gap between conception and realization without compromising the integrity of the original idea.” Barbara Hepworth [Artwork: “Sea Form (Atlantic)” by Barbara Hepworth.

I love this; about having an idea of where you’re going when making your art. I’m a plotter, but I think this applies to pantsers too.
