Because I don't have a gallery to show my work, I'm creating for myself and don't think about what the public wants to buy. I am free to create whatever, and I'm also free to destroy a piece if I don't like it. Making art is not a business any longer with me. It's all about just. making. it. Yes, I'd love to show my work in a gallery some day....or that can wait til I kick the bucket and my kids deal with it. I'm my worst and best critic so I am free to take chances, to experiment even if the outcome is wonky or .....not worthless, as just the act of making something that will maybe be recycled or trashed is something learned and gained.
