LOVE THIS!!! Timely too as I was just having a text conversation with an artist friend of mine and I mentioned to her what I've often stated in that 'less is more'. I used to have a fantasy of driving an 18 wheeler across the country and fill it up with great junk for my assemblages. But then I realized that I'd be so overwhelmed with tons of junk I'd probably give up. But I've been in situations where I couldn't find the quality junk I needed and was forced to use what I had and figure out how to stretch what I had and use them in new and wonderful ways. You writing "limitations force you to innovate" is such TRUTH. I will forward your article to my friend. Thank you for this very timely essay.
