Some days I’m too tired to write or draw. Some days I’ve got other things I need to do or would rather be doing. Some days, I just don’t feel like it. But that’s also true of when I show up to my day job except, I always do, and I get the work done, whether I feel like it or not. Maybe it’s the same with my art-making?
The problem with progress is that we’re likely to learn that we’re either not good enough or not ambitious enough. But maybe there’s no other way?
If a chair is for sitting, what’s sitting for? Why sit at all?
What might we be able to tell ourselves and listen for in order to provoke more positive energy and action in our art practice?
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?
