frustration

When one produces art, there is the constant pressure of explaining what you're art is about or what you're doing. At the moment this is a frustrating question. Having previously had a direct path that my work was following, I have found myself with a bit of a mental block. I am fed up and frustrated with current painting. It has a better chance of being sliced off the canvas than being completed. I don't know if my current mindset has to do with my painting or just the place I am in my life right now. However, I have decided to put my current work aside and try to paint in a new style. Whether this will be one painting of turn into a series I have no idea. I'm just hoping to loosen up and find my way back into my love of painting rather than staying in my current frustrated and exhausted state.

Don’t slice your painting! I cant tell you how often artists are in that place-it’s the offset to those wonderful, fantastic stretches in the studio. It sucks-and it horrid- but generally the work you make after these moments is so much better than the work from before.

Read Eva Hesse again-and do.
