Artists: We receive ideas. We do not quite know where they come form - only that they come to us. And we are lucky. That is why I think it is a little bit sacrilegious not to work.

Artists: When it comes to your work, use whatever works for you: Materials, media, platforms, scale, tools, techniques, colors. delivery mechanisms, old models or new ones - use it. Beauty is what works.

“[If] I was an artist and I was in the studio, then whatever it was I was doing in the studio must be art […] At this point art became more of an activity and less of a product.” —@BruceNauman

If I ever find myself complaining like “ugh NOW I gotta do TikTok and reels and all that crap!?”, I try to remind myself, it has never been easy to survive as an artist.

If you're having trouble #writing, start by writing one simple sentence: the most true thing you know. Do not hedge. Do not temper. Write a strong, declarative statement, and let your argument unfold from there. (Every piece of writing, when done well, *is* an argument.)
