Day 106 of Year 2 (Actually Day 107)
Yesterday was interesting. Despite my extreme dislike of the print bubbles, it received a positive response proving once again, an artist is not meant to judge the value of their own work. Work flows through and out. Radical trust is required, trust that though an artist may not learn the true purpose of an individual piece, there is purpose. Tonight I needed this red, I felt it warming my chest, giving me life force. It changed me. But I will never know if it has a purpose after it goes out into the world. That has to be okay because the fastest way to block up creative flow is to become attached to certain outcomes. Creative freedom comes from detachment especially detachment from making a "good" work of art. Every work has a purpose whether it is to change the artist, its viewers, or both. Yesterday was a great reminder to trust, turn off the judgement, and turn on the flow.
