Do we need creative mission statements?

Consider the nature of the question. Consider what it all means. What is a mission statement or statement of purpose as a creative individual? Often with words. An articulation of where you stand and where you’re coming from in why you create what you create and what you anticipate the effects will be, perhaps. It’s another way to add a unique signature to who you are as someone who is involved in creative work. It overemphasizes a certain mapping of creative experience to advocate for just one approach. It’s good to consider what it all means. (recording contains ambient sound)
