Hi Marsha

I think the MOQ would say the experience of creation is Dynamic while the 
results are static. I believe Robert Pirsig comments in the introduction to 
a book on zen that the result of zen artistry is often rough-hewn. I don't 
have access to my library at the moment and I cannot recall the name of the 
book nor the author right off hand. Mr Pirisig seems to be saying that the 
roughness of the art in no way detracts from the skill (the Dynamic 
experience) of the artist and in fact enhances it (the static results) in 
many cases.

Thanks for writing,

Dan
