Rec | MAKING BAD ART

👩‍🎨

just had an epiphany about how everyone seeks something different from art, how we all perceive it based on who we are as individuals … for the longest time in art/film school i’ve been scared to pursue the art i want out of fear that it will turn out very bad. but i hope we make art anyway despite that fear, as long as it sustains ourselves and the people who matter. i hope we all get to freely make “bad” art 🫂

have the audacity to make bad work

i am really passionate about going to my schools gallery crawl where all the undergrads exhibit their art. The work folks make range from uninformed, to simply bad, to copying other famous artists, or just trying to make it through art school. Genuinely, it’s inspiring to see people try stuff out, get halfway, play around, wrestle with a concept and fail (sometimes hilariously). and bitch it’s necessary! being audacious, playful and unafraid of failure, intrigued or exhausted, it’s all a part of making. being so scared to screw up makes u make no work at all. I made so so so much bad work in school and i presented it proudly. I wanna get back to failing spectacularly and doing it with a grin.

making bad art (and then re working it from there)

while this seems counterintuitive it’s something I’ve been trying to adopt this mindset into my practice lately since it presents great opportunities to learn and make Better Art. as someone who always Wants Perfection with their work (especially with the first go of things), making bad art has been something I’ve made a lot lately because I’ve been learning so many new things (like cyanotype and darkroom printing). fun fact: I actually have two cyano-totes. The first one has barely seen the light of day because it was a hot mess (aka I def did not rinse it enough). BUT without the first one I would not have made the second one that you guys showed so much love for!!!!!! *this was also a nice little reflection moment for me because I was very fed up last night in my darkroom class so thanks pi.fyi for making #reflect and remember it’s about progress not perfection*

Making bad art

At least it’s out there. I get so caught up in my heart being in it’s most perfect form but if I could actually access that impossibility I wouldn’t grow from the process. Basic I know, but its good to be reminded of.
