The 3 P’s

Perfectionism, procrastination, and paralysis – one often leads to the next, in a vicious cycle, especially on large, long-term projects with no clear deadlines.

The procrastination and paralysis that result from overly high standards causes the perfectionist to wait until it's too late, then rush to do something; anything.

This sums up my life as an artist.

layer upon layer

She'd wrapped layer upon layer of solitude around herself to protect her from a gaze, yet she wasn't exactly sure whose. If she was really honest with herself, she knew it was her own eyes watching her, but she nevertheless kept wrapping that solitude around her; there was nothing else to do.

To Mervas, Elisabeth Rynell

fight the fear

We are not facing a refugee crisis. We are facing a crisis because we do not embrace, we do not sympathise and we cannot give up fear. Art can encourage so I hope this project will help fight the fear in all of us.

a state of mind

Hell is not a place, it's a state of mind and body.
It's an obsession with a voice, a face, a name.

Phantom, Susan Kay

alone again

no use looking out
it's within that brings
that lonely feeling

trust yourself

Works of art are of infinite loneliness and nothing can reach them so little as criticism.


Letters To A Young Poet, Rainer Maria Rilke
