Continuing to spend the month looking back at the past 6 years since arriving in Maine and noticed that this quote has always been on a scrap of paper in the studio, in my flat file, on my iPad. These pictures of tables and small paintings, from a brief yet obsessive experimental period with marbleizing wood for Art and Design purposes sparked this thought and reminded me of the many many objects and ideas that have been left behind, burned, primed over, and put aside on my creative journey. Everyone has their own voices that speak to them, but this one spoke to me and I have not stopped since. What it means to me is that I am always curious, always creating + looking + destroying + creating again- You have to make many mistakes and create many many things that are “almosts” and not let their “failure” (usually only in one’s own head) weigh you down as you continue to enter your studio each and every day and decide what you will make and explore this day. #peterwallsart #maineart #maineartist #makemistakesandlearn
