This is a reassuring thought for me. Because when the ideas don’t just appear, it is nice to know that someone like Chuck Close believes it is about hard work, not just divine inspiration.
I am not a big self-help book/media fan. However, this project was one that definitely caught my eye. I was compelled by the content found in the short film that headlines the website. I don’t want to ruin it for you, but if you haven’t had an opportunity to see this, you may find something in it that resonates for you on this day.
Thanks for the post. The video is very inspiring, and equally intriguing. As an artist, it is good to know that not everyone gets a divine vision, or a sense that something outside of themselves is “pushing” them. I agree with Chuck Close, sometimes you simply have to roll up your sleeves and dive in. In my experience, the work will tell me what it wants to be while I am in-process.
