ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Here's a Thought… #2797 with Brooks Jensen
Artmaking Is Problem-SolvingI have a daughter who loves puzzles. Watching her attack a puzzle reminds me of the process I engage when working on art. The end can often be visualized, but the means to get there cannot. That could almost be the definition of a puzzle.

We sneak up on the answer rather than pouncing on it.
