i'm working on this new piece right now. it's a collage thing on this channukah card envelope that i cut/ripped open. it basically has no meaning, i'm just creating it because i like the way it looks. since i started it last night, i'm seeing everything in my house as material for it. i look and wonder how i could manage to glue it on or cut it up or bend it and use it for what i'm making. also, i'm taking my time. usually when i'm making something i just do it all in one sitting. i pull these crazy all nighters because i'm afraid my level of inspiration and focus won't be there if i walk away from it. i'm totally going at a really steady, healthy pace with it though. i work on it for a while, make however much process on it i feel like depending on how into it i am at the time and then just let it go. as in just stop whenever i'm sick of working on it. and i'm not worrying about themes or meanings or metaphors or anything, it's all just about the aesthetics. so basically i'm just making this thing because i like it it and feel like making something. which is incredibly refreshing.
the next time you're stressed, just get high, sit in your room, put on your favorite music and make something. fabulous fabulous stuff, i must say.
i would also suggest a playlist including plenty of radiohead.
