The Two Questions.
I often find myself asking myself the same two questions that Lynda is asking herself. Actually I find that these two questions serve as a huge road block for my success as an artist. The two questions are the verbal representation of insecurity about one's art. For some reason I always find myself being so insecure about my work and ability that I end up barely finishing something or not even doing it entirely. I think I really do need to just let it go and make things. With my Q4 peoject I'm already finding difficulty with continuing it because I'm already asking myself if its good or not.

One must find ways of circumventing the two questions, and moving out of that judgement head and into a stance of work and creation. What about some rules for yourself, so that rather than putting achievement of a continuum, which is so nebulous, you make the work about solving a problem or completing a non-artistic task: I'm going to shoot 30 pictures of things that are mainly blue. The self-expression - the art, if you will, tends to make itself known no matter what. You are Danielle, with a specific way of being and seeing, so your solution to whatever the problem might be will be very expressive of you. Does that make sense?
