Create Art In 2022

“Don’t think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it’s good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art.” Andy Warhol

The goal of creation, whether that be a thought, a story, a project, could be extended to become everything we do is art.  Even if we are making artisan firewood, it is still art. 

So, the act of creation: starting, revising, learning, restarting means the focus is on the process and the outcome.  Regarding focus, I need to determine what is art according to me, and me along.  The next step is to set up the path through which creation may occur.  There is a balance that if one only improves the process, that does not mean that I will actually create anything of merit without a feedback mechanism.   Conversely, if I do not know when to let something be finished, it remains trapped in a OODA loop that becomes a Möbius strip. 

So, I need to focus on knowing what is art, the process to make a creation, and the reward of knowing that I must revise my procedures as I learn what did not work!  Sounds like the Andy Warhol quote is similar to this Thomas Edison quote:

This seems like a great quote to strive for in 2022.
