Among its many meanings, the word 鈥淐rossings鈥 can imply a journey of some sort, either internal or external. 鈥淐rossings鈥 indicates going from one place to another, sometimes crossing over to safer ground, both literally and metaphorically. It would be natural to assume that all artists encounter 鈥渃rossings鈥 of different kinds throughout their lives and especially in their works. Artistic growth and the courage to travel beyond familiar boundaries surely represent the most daring kind of crossing an artist can experience.
