I have been listening to an audio book by David Bayles and Ted Orland called Art and Fear. I really enjoyed it and I found it very enlightening about my own work and how I should pursue it further. A couple of quotes that helped me are:
'Making the work you want to make means finding nourishment within the work itself'
'To require perfection is to invite paralysis'
Both these comments help me realise that my work should nourish me and I know I need to change my direction so I feel that nourishment. Also perfection... I think that requires a lot more thought on my part as I feel I have to decode myself regarding this matter.
