Quatre Heure: March 2022
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I've been doing a lot of artist studies this month.
It's such a perfect way to warm up the creative juices without feeling the pressure to create something "share-worthy."
While you know I love social media (because connecting to humans from all over the world is very cool), but it puts us in a space of constant performance + feedback.
We don't always want that! I mean I almost never want that if I'm honest.
Artists and often those that identify as women, at least in my own experience, are sensitive beings and we don't want people to constantly critique every ounce of our work. It takes the fun out of it!
If you're feeling a little stuck in your head today, I encourage you to just get a random piece of paper out and start doodling--- a work, a line, and let it evolve from there with absolutely no outcome in mind.
