Your Relationship To Your Art

The Creative Unlearning

Show Notes

Have you ever considered that you are in a relationship with your art? That like any relationship there is a reciprocity to it. You have to put into the relationship and be present and loving within it. We consider our relationships with our loved ones, the people in our worlds. But we don’t always consider that we are in relationship with ourselves and our actions and that includes our creativity.

We need to consider the questions, what does my art give to me and what do I give to my art?

In this week’s episode I ask the question, are you a creative butterfly? Do you flit from one new idea to the next but never see any single one of them through to the end? We take a look at how we can use constraint as a way of insuring we learn to see some projects through to completion.
