It's easier to talk about being intuitive than it is to be intuitive. It's far easier to talk about being a lateral thinker than it is to think laterally. So, having a theme is one way to exercise an iterative process; a theme allows the artist "permission" to make intuitive choices and to explore a genuine variety of options. Here (above) I have used different sources or subjects to develop my character of Punch, who is an archetype for the artist in society.
