“Tell me about this piece” That’s usually when I lose my voice. Ironic, as I am never at a loss for words.
As an artist I really have no desire to explain my work. It feels like I’ve been talking the whole time, having a running commentary in my head while I’m working and by the time I’m done, I have nothing left to say.
It always amazes me when artists can go on about their process and technique, their vision and what their art represents. I admire that ability, although sometimes I have to admit it sounds like bullshit, at least they have a story.
Everyone does love a good story, so I guess I better start learning how to tell some.
