Kevin Kelly excerpts from Art & Fear:Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking, by David Bayles and Ted Orland. From the book: Making art provides uncomfortably accurate feedback about the gap that inevitably exists between what you intended to do, and what you did. In fact, if artmaking did not tell you (the maker) so enormously much about yourself, then making art that matters to you would be impossible. To all viewers but yourself, what matters is the product; the finished artwork. To you, and you alone, what matters is the process: the experience of shaping that artwork.I need to remind myself of this advice from time to time, and I wish that more of my fellow actors heeded it.
