From a rather post-modern perspective, the process of making art is, like you said, also art. Video tape yourself can slap the label of performance art on it and call it a day! No, just kidding. But it is like that, seeing the artist go into the space of creativity and the subsequent "performance" or creation is awesome.
On a different note, check my review of your work! It is not very long or detailed, and I am sure you were tagged in it.
Thanks for the insightful discussion on the process of creating art!
