The original idea absorbs natural accidents and is transformed into something deeper than the artist alone can imagine. So, when something unrehearsed, unexpected and hopelessly unscheduled is provided by nature: it is construed as ‘an accident’. Eventually through a process of editing, thinking, observing and perspective-change, the accident merges with the work; it becomes an essential feature of the work. Sometimes the accident is invisible to the viewer of the final work, indiscernible from the features which the artist originally intended. After a while the accident may become a part of the artist’s lexicon, their apperceptive mass, and begin manifesting and evolving in a direction dictated no longer solely by natural randomness but flavored with the intuition of the artist.
