Art Doesn't Have To Make Sense

"Art is like a birdsong:...inflections, shadings, shifts - 
all things that have emotional and perceptual impact."
  I am drawn to the idea that art doesn't have to make sense.  
I get a giant sigh of relief with that thought.
And, I love thinking of art as birdsong. 
"Every work is a culturescape of you, your memories...your hopes,
your energies, your neuroses, the times you live in, and your ambitions."
I would change this up a tiny bit.  First of all, I would not call it work.
For me, art is play.  Every "piece" is a culturescape.
Actually, now that I'm deeper into this, 
I'm reminded of this quote which seems more complete.

The two of them,  together are like left/right brain, aren't they?
 I could also say masculine/feminine energy?
They make a thoughtful combo on the topic of art, in my view.

". . .stop trying to make something new and start making something you."
THAT is art that makes sense, even if no one gets it...including the artist.
Namaste'
