In today’s WEEKLIES at our Patreon, I write about the term ”artistic practice” and how it’s been conflated with artistic ”work”:

”Your own introspections, impressions and expressions are worth more than anything else, because they’re the very foundation of what makes you you. Hone the skills, sharpen the edges, practice until (perceived) perfect – and then keep going, never be fully satisfied, cherish and respect the neurosis, fill the unconscious coffers with more stuff, and let it all percolate and cross-fertilize until the cows fly into space and the roosters yodel at midnight. ”Artistic practice” has become an unfortunate misnomer for ”work.” Of course it’s work, too, but not really in the traditional, causal sense. I believe it to be more of a perennial sketching process; gathering impressions on the go and then possibly evaluating what’s what for possible use.”
