Over the last few months, and years, I’ve discovered an interest in the creative process: what we make. Why? How? I am convinced that to succeed (I guess by that, I mean to achieve at least some of what you set out to do) it is as much about your mindset
Love it, Ella! Pressure really dampens the joy of making. Sometimes I think it's unavoidable and we have to push through despite feeling pressure because of deadlines and commitments. It's helped me to accept that the process can feel miserable but it doesn't mean the art is necessarily worse. Alternating these moments with the more intuitive, expectation-free art making moments pushes me forward in my practice I think :)
