TENTANG EPISODE INI
Last week, we talked about the productive cycle of our craft. Today, we’re going to deepen into the phase that tends to follow intense periods of making, the reflective cycle.
This is one of the more overlooked cycles of our craft but totally necessary to really honor the effort of making something. It’s the cycle where we look at our work and review what we’ve done, apply to shows, invite studio visits, journal, and on occasion, make a social media post. The longer I have allowed myself to linger in this cycle, the more I can identify what is Quality and what isn’t, what’s working and what’s not — completely independent from algorithms.
The deepest reward of the reflective cycle is how it connects us to reciprocity and appreciating our gifts instead of chasing prestige.
