AFAIK the role of the artist is to make stuff, which, as you rightly say, takes up most of any sane persons energy. As you also say, it is accessible to me!

How do you figure out what is accessible and what isn't? It's a similar question to: "accessible for whom?" I'm not aware of anyone, at least anyone in the 'art' game, ever making accessibility a consideration. Most of the time and I can vouch for personal experience, you're just wrestling with your own demons and trying to make it come out... 'right' -- whatever that might mean. I suppose you could say that Dickens was being accessible when he serialized his novels and that they just turned out to be artistic classics, but that was a different time and place. ...edN I don’t know.
