I’ve found that being in the studio for five days a week, can be quite difficult for me to concentrate and focus on one particular project. I also have discovered that the more I try to force what I want to do, the less success I seem to have.
when Im going through these less productive periods, I’m re-enthused by letting go and making some quick, expressive drawings and paintings.
by working on paper that is relatively cheap, I dont feel too concerned about the outcome of what I’m doing and just enjoy the process of making the work.
I feel that working in this less inhibited way, the work seems much more loose and natural. I try not to think for too long, I just commit to doing it.
