"Poeisis" is a Greek word meaning “the bringing into being of something that did not exist before.” This creature represents the seed of inspiration from the Muse being born through the artist’s hands. The rocky precipice is the mountain we must climb in terms of developing our skills and overcoming obstacles and challenges in order to be able to create the imagery the Muse presents to us.
