ah man. I feel like I'm on almost the exact opposite trip right now. i'm feeling like making art is so so vital right now. the way we do it, the way we share it, is so tricky, and I'm way way less experienced in it than you, but--i feel like we have to keep making it, and keep finding ways of sharing it that feel true and right and authentic... and i just have this strong hope that the work will find its way to the places and people that need it... as long as we keep making it and sharing it and believing in it... <3
It is so vital. I think a big part of me feeling this was is because in many ways I feel like I’m in the belly of the beast at the moment—in LA, art as a career. It’s the classic disillusionment from doing what you love as a career, entering the industry and seeing the wizard is just a guy behind a curtain. But I feel like I’m called right now to return to the vital side of creation, it’s taking some courage in ways I haven’t practiced in awhile—like trying new things, staying up late, asking people to collaborate with me:)
I wonder if i will ever rly live in that belly lol cuz in the MFA it's kind of like living there but with life support? umbilical cord? lol
and after i graduate from this, i might go back to teaching as a way of supporting myself while also hoping to write...
would you ever want to teach i wonder?...
but also the life of truly living based on making art alone seems so lovely in some ways but also yeah like... vulnerable? to this kind of disillusionment and to other kinds of instability... ah !
