Objects

As I acknowledge my fears in my previous post, I think back to a ceramics professor that asked us to smash our first creations after having spent a week obsessing over them. We reluctantly threw them to the floor and watched our hard work shatter, but we were reminded that art is a process. Each piece is about the accumulation of knowledge and experience, not about the actual object.

By holding on to those objects, we stay in one place. By putting them behind us, we can use our acquired knowledge and experience to move us forward in the next work of art.
