But I fear

Today I had a mid term critique with Charles Goss, one of my beloved professors. He gave me direction and insight as to how I can better steer away from the control and more into the unknown. He suggested that I “approach and explore my fears”. What an interesting concept. After all fear is nothing but the doings of an analytical brain, its the block created by societies admissions. But beyond the anxiety factor, fear just becomes this empty space. So why is it so intimidating and how does one break out of their fears?

I will always explore with my art, but so far I’ve created this system that seems to generate similar outcomes. Thus, I fear to break my habit, I fear to paint large, I fear to explore my fears, I fear to hand my control to intuition and the primal, I fear failure. But I’m eager. I’m eager and full of anticipation to diverge and make mistakes.
