I thought about ideas today. I struggled with a problem and thought to myself: “this would be a lot easier if I wrote out a problem statement.” That’s where I learned.
The artist’s struggle is the battle to take what’s abstract and give it a form.
Often times the idea, the phrase, the hypothesis, or the white whale you intend to slay is a figment of your imagination — it’s not real to you until you make it real.
Once a thing has a form, it’s much easier to work it into something beautiful.
