Either the statement is a very clever continuation of the art, or the artist just sounds like a gibbering idiot. If you can't come up with a grandiose description of your art that makes any sense, it's because it isn't worthy of grandiose description. I wish more artists were comfortable simply describing their feelings and inspirations without getting so self-conscious about it that they start to trail off into the blithering dimension.
