If the choice is between finishing something, or perfecting it, done wins. Every time. Because done invites feedback, and feedback helps me improve. Once we admit to ourselves that perfect is impossible, all we’ve got left is done. And if it’s true that we learn from what we do, then the more we do, the more we learn. Getting to done, not perfect, then, is the fastest way to improve.
Great work is seldom made in isolation. But what do we need to ask of ourselves in order to find the right collaborators?
Do fundamental skills really need to come first? Or, instead of learning those, can we focus on why we’re doing in the first place?
With so many potential paintings, drawings, and ideas to make, how does anyone prioritise their precious time on Earth?
How does a culture of add-ons and upgrades effect how we make art?
Is it possible to trap ourselves into a ‘style’ or ‘type of work’ because it’s easier for the world to understand simplicity?
