Shaping


"Art is a kind of innate drive that seizes a human being and makes him its instrument.  The artist is not a person endowed with free will who seeks his own ends, but one who allows art to realize its purpose through him.  As a human being he may have moods and a will and personal aims, but as an artist he is "man" in a higher sense–he is "collective man"– one who carries and shapes the unconscious, psychic forms of mankind." 
-- C.G. Jung
