Once you’ve developed a method you have a way out. Method is the exit. Now you can hand the method off to someone else. Let them execute. Move on to finding a new method. (Are these others your assistants? They could be. If you could afford them.)
Picture an open process that can’t be taught. It can include methods. It can include open discovery, feeling around, experimentation. The sequence of method and experimentation would defy duplication, being different in every case. The thing created would have no direct teachable point-a-to-point-b method behind it. It would exist not as an end of method but as an entity of semi-mysterious origin.
The created thing would not be an answer but a question.
It wouldn’t be a demonstration of any method.
It would retain the same mystery as existence itself.
Method is bound up in the created object. But this object in defying method retains a unique charge that can’t be duplicated or passed on.
I think this has something to do with art.
