WHAT IS THE MOST VALUABLE PIECE OF ARTISTIC ADVICE YOU HAVE EVER RECEIVED, AND FROM WHO?
“During my first year in university I had a hard time deciding what to do artistically and was struggling with school because I wanted to do everything. My department’s leading professor told me to picture a hallway that is surrounded by many doors, each leading to different corridors. The thing is, you have to eventually open one of those doors and walk all the way through it, even if it means you won’t know where those other doors lead. If not, you will just stand there in the hallway and know nothing. Somehow this really made sense to me at the time and helped me realize that to improve as an artist, I need to make decisions, one door at a time.”
