Art = Risk
If you want to make good art, you have to take risks.
Safe art isn’t art. It’s a corporate video, or a picture you buy at Home Goods.
It doesn’t matter if you’re willing to take the risks. It doesn’t matter if you manufactured the stakes. It doesn’t matter if the risks are illogical. You still have to take them.
There are plenty of ways to be creative, and those aren’t bad things.
But to make art to to take risks. There’s no way around it.
