i am having a huge surge of creative output. it’s so weird when this happens. for the longest time i was feeling so uninspired. and if i was inspired i just didn’t have the energy/time/thoughtfulness to make anything. or maybe i was just thinking too much? this tends to happen quite frequently for me. i over think everything. right now i am just going with my instincts. making art for the sake of my sanity/just because.
this idea of making art without an end in sight or in mind is a rather hard thing for me to do. i think this is because of art school. now, i graduated in 2001 so that has given me plenty of time to unlearn a few things. school is great, don’t get me wrong. but i feel like in a school setting art can be theorized to death. sometimes (at least for me) my education works against me. (in more ways than one - getting a completely un-employable education definitely has worked against me).
anyways…
can’t. stop. painting.
