When I make drawing I start the first lines as impulses. That makes the essence. The rest is hard work to make the connections vissible for others too. But that start always makes the total impression come to life.

I have changed my philosophy of making art in the last year and a half. Somewhere I had come across this quote from a photographer that the key to being a "good" photographer was to take "lots of shots." Sometimes I make a work that resonates with a lot of people--but to me it was just a throwaway work. Other times, I work for days and days on something and it completely falls flat for me and others. Also, maybe the work is never completed, even if it is minimal--maybe it is simply "abandoned" as Valéry said. And I am growing to accept failure as part of the artistic process. If we could control the beauty of the art we make, then it wouldn't be the mysterious thing that it is and that makes it really moving. I guess this is my long way of saying I am starting not to worry about it--I just take "lots of shots." :)

This is just how I've been thinking about things--maybe you'll find some value in it as well.

It happens to me too. I sometimes look at my works and I find myself thinking "why did I do it so?". May be when I made it, I had a reason that I don't remember.
