Kathryn, I was so grateful to read your paragraphs on technology challenges and questioning what is “real”. I’m presently having some technology challenges myself. Your newsletter this month was very valuable to me. It affirms that there are others out there who struggle with how the creative process intersects with our messy lives and our personal struggles. It’s unfortunate that so many creatives feel isolated in their frustrations, and vulnerable stories like yours lessens that isolation. I’m excited to hear more about your book, and send you encouragement in your journey.
Thanks, Jeff for the encouragement and connection. I am glad my story helps lessen isolation. I find myself excited and inspired by all that is possible with technology and, at the same time, the learning curve can be really frustrating. I'm so much more patient with my process when I am working hands-on with materials - part of my practice right now is trying to bring that patience to work on the computer that feels somehow less "real." I have to step away and get perspective sometimes just like with work with materials, and, when it works, work on the computer brings real connection and community like this conversation here. Thanks you.
