There is a quote from Albert Camus on the back cover of Scott Walker’s album Scott 4: “A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to discover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.” That kind of nails it: those images get embedded when you’re too young to know much about it and then you spend the rest of your life trying to excavate them. If you’re lucky, they’re worth the effort.
