We often talk about having the luxury of more time. With more time, we could do more things, we tell ourselves. But without time constraints, it becomes more difficult to prioritise; to know when enough is enough. Sometimes, having no time is exactly what we need to help us make progress, to finish something, to move on to what comes next.
Where does the motivation for beginning mark making come from? Why would I even try in the first place?
How might we become less reliant on other people’s reaction to our work and the confidence to make more of it?
Why do I feel compelled to share my work with anyone at all? Isn’t it enough just to make it for me?
Some work, like some meals, stand out more than others. So what’s on the plate or canvas that goes beyond ingredients or paint?
Whether we’re aware of it or not, humans tend to be able to feel the human effort behind work.
