Put all your friends in [your art], everybody you loved, so one day they will find you and know that you were all here together. -Camille Billops to bell hooks

I think there is something to the idea that, in order to persist in a long personal project with no outside pressure, you have to be as in love with your process as with the desired output.

you’ll probably need to create a life in which working on your art becomes a natural part of your everyday life.

how is your consuming/creating balance lately?

Patience is required for the nuanced development of your craft. Patience is required for taking in information in the most faithful way possible. Patience is required for crafting a work that resonates and contains all that we have to offer.

A website can be anything. It doesn’t (and probably shouldn’t) be an archive of your complete works. That’s going to be dead the moment you publish. A website, or anything interactive, is inherently unfinished. It’s imperfect—maybe sometimes it even has a few bugs. But that’s the beauty of it. Websites are living, temporal spaces.

Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working. — Pablo Picasso
