Incoming and outgoing flows go through the same limited mind. To create, you have to make peace with being incomplete and with your mind's arbitrariness.

As for a model, I read Barthes' Le plaisir du texte years ago. It kinda freed me and changed how I approach knowledge and learning. It's a weird read, but what I got out of it is that forcing yourself to be all-seeing and all-understanding when reading is hopeless, counterproductive to enjoying it, and ultimately unnecessary for creative purposes. Let your mind wander and gallop over parts of the text without regard for how it was written. Nobody is looking at you or judging you; the mechanics of reading (how you read, tmesis) are as subjective an experience as what those written words create within you (how you feel, their significance).

@Greekdx butbutbut you can build and write long-form! it survives time and has a greater impact imo

@being_on_line Bravo!

@saintsonso In my experience, wasting time overdeveloping ideas that were fine in their initial form is also an artist's specialty. Creative maturity partly means realizing you have to let go early and not be precious about ideas.

Every once in a while, I develop an artwork that grows so bloated and complex that I have to arbitrarily axe parts of it. If it survives that amputation, I keep working on it otherwise, it slowly petrifies.

@ReginaHarsanyi @quasimondo You have to fight models really hard so they don't paint over whatever you're doing with their base instincts.

@JBeanstorm I only collect paintings that were made before paint was sold in tubes

@jamesbloom_ Thanks for showing me around!

I'm taking a break from sickness + studio work to travel to London to meet friends and see some art. Collectors, please reach out if you're in town!

I will have new work to show when I'm back. In the meantime, see this link: https://t.co/frwDwZufkO
