couldn't really get into the flow with these pieces, hence the multiple attempts! when I was younger, I'd feel really frustrated that I couldn't make a piece work and would get easily discouraged. as I get older, I find it really interesting when things aren't quite connecting and I like to consider why that's the case. it can be so many different things: you're trying to do too many different things at once, the tools you're using are unfamiliar, you feel physically unwell, you're not connecting with the subject, the list goes on and on. all to say that art and making things really is about enjoying the process. even when I've been able to execute ideas well, I notice the process is often filled with unexpected pivots, backtracks, and changes and looks a little different every single time.
so, if you're working on something right now and you feel like you're butting heads, remember that it's all part of the process. maybe take a break, give yourself some time to clear the air and allow space for new ideas to come in. a small shift in perspective can make a big difference. even if nothing about the thing itself changes, maybe you'll just feel differently about it, and sometimes? that's enough.

they really can't and that's ok! xD it's not about constant bangers at the end of the day, just getting the opportunity to make something is interesting in and of itself ^.^

2024-08-27 01:02:15 +0000 UTCi really appreciated the words with the pic this time. it's been a Monday for me (i just hate mondays lol) and i've been having a torturous, sometimes self-destructive relationship with art so reading your words about your struggle to make this one work... idk, it hit me today. in any case, i love the tetxure here <3
