“Author Anne Lammot says that to be great, art must point at something. What you decide to point at - whether it’s the ugliness of injustice or the beauty of Vermont in the fall - is your vision. How you point at it is your craft. The more unique your vision, and the more practiced your craft, the more powerful your art.”
