Good timing article for me. I recently finished my 180th art piece and have nothing to start. I've putzed around the studio playing with some items but nothing has sparked and idea or even inspiration for a new piece to be created. But your article has paralleled what I've been thinking about and that's just to play around, not to think about a masterpiece or about failure, not worry about anyone seeing these assemblage "doodles" and just go in there and keep putzing and playing and doing whatever.
sometimes I think it’s like a puzzle, you start off with the first couple of pieces noticing something about them that makes them go together, and then build, one piece at a time, trying out out different ones, rejecting until one feels like a good move forward. least that’s how it goes for me. i never start with an end in mind.
Yes, that sounds right on. I'll do that often when creating a piece and sometimes I have an idea in mind to work on and will play with the pieces I have and even at times the meaning changes completely or goes beyond what I may have intended.
so well put
