The whole world sank…
I make art as a means of making the mess of myself meaningful.
Devoted to Something Difficult..
Earlier last week I started rereading Austin Kleon’s book Keep Going. I first read it towards the end of last year when I was in a deep creative slump. Creatively speaking, I was really struggling to find and maintain the energy and motivation to “keep going” and the book was …
