On Making.
Nov 1, 2020
My process: Make a thing. Change it. Now I have two things. One of these two things is better, both in total and in any particular detail. I try to notice these differences and amplify the good parts. Then I go back, make another thing, and repeat the process.
I’m not shy about making changes either. Even when I like a piece of work, I try to change it and improve it. As the work gets better, improvements are more difficult to find. Once I like something and the efforts to improve start to flag, I move on.
As part of this process I throw away a lot of work. I accept that.
