Robert Genn says:

It's not just the stuff you're looking at, or the magical
dreams of your head, it's what you do with your material.
"Nature," said James McNeill Whistler, "is usually wrong." What
he meant was that in order to be art, things need to be
redesigned. In many cases, stuff needs to be moved, separated,
lined up, brought into agreement or in some way justified as a
thing of its own--a troublesome leap of faith for many. Fact
is, there's gotta be meaning and purpose.

Isn't 'Art' the opposite of 'Nature' ... like 'Artificial' is the opposite of 'natural' :)
