I had the opportunity to have a studio visit with an artist named Kyle Peets this week ( http://kylepeets.com/ ) and thought I would reflect on some of the things that came up during that visit. We talked about failure being an underlying theme in much of the work, not failure in the creation of the work, but failure in the usefulness of the objects and systems that I have assembled. I’m going to spend time analyzing the use of failure in relation to myself. We also talked about the idea of the one liner in my work which is also a critique he has received in the past. I wrote down a quote from him… “What's the harm of a one liner in the context of a paragraph”. I’m going to continue exploring framing my work as a whole and letting one liners enhance and add interest to or engagement in a broader conversation.
conclusion
+ ask hard questions of yourself. answering them, you might need to sacrifice things which are hard to lose. + art production sometimes is just a labor. you work hard and think that it should be improved with practice. practice makes perfect. but, THINK more, do less sometimes is the answer. + you think that you think a lot. but the reality is that you are only an over-thinker. over-thinking means labor-thinking. no efficient result. a frustrating process. an obstacle. a hinder which prevents you from moving. + listen. think. learn. but simultaneously act. do them. do what you learned and what you heard. + trust your emotions. it is another motive existed in you. sometimes do something based on your emotion. + break the habits. forget. start.
