As of today, I have a collection of 359 art cards, surpassing my goal of 300 cards for my installation at Studio & next Saturday. (Show announcement here.) Nevertheless, many of those 359 cards are not what I would consider worthy of display. The difficult task is to cull those I don't think pass muster. I'm finding it extremely hard to make that assessment, as the more I look at my collection, the less I like my work. My own hyper-vigilant internal critic hijacks any objective perspective, making the culling process quite challenging. At the same time, I am fearful that my ideal amount of cards for my show (300), is unrealistic and will potentially sacrifice quality for quantity. So I find myself caught between my lack of confidence and my motivation to create a powerful installation. Ultimately, I hope to achieve both quality and quantity, and I have only ten days to do so. Wish me luck.

DUDE: Good luck on that!

Lots of pieces of work that the artist themself thought were junk (including musical compositions) later became valued & replicated pieces.
