"...a proof that what art does, maybe what it does most completely, is to tell us, make us feel, that what we think we know we don’t. That’s what it’s for—to show you that what you think can be erased, cancelled, turned on its head, by something you weren’t prepared for. Anything."

This is a page from Jack Whitten’s (b. 1939) journal, ‘notes from the woodshed’. To witness the pinnacle of a thought- the friction that pings so loud, before the methodical homage of art making. To see how we all try to find rules to follow within persistent chaos. I agree with him mostly, minus the male/female thing. His work is also fantastic.

⛓️it’s hard when you’re *in it* to appreciate everything you’ve done (or really to appreciate it at all, especially if you are in critical-eye-review-revise-repeat mode) but taking a second to just *enjoy* your work will allow you to reconnect with why you’re pursuing creative work in the first place. what do you see in your projects you don’t see anywhere else? what does your previous work inspire you to pursue when you see it as an achievement in its own right instead of a stepping stone?
