Embrace the Random

There is no such thing as perfection. No matter how much one strives for it, the goal can never be reached.

Many take their fulfilment from the pursuit. Many are happy with near enough. Many are never fulfilled. Never being content with the first, I have always found myself alternating between the two latter options.

Over the previous few years I have discovered another solution. Allowing oneself to be open to opportunity, to give time to the unconscious and to embrace the random.

In producing artwork I have found the harder I try the less the results feel like an honest part of me.

Sometimes it has taken the serendipitous to make me realise this. Mistakes and accidents can open a window to new worlds where we can learn so much more about ourselves and discover new experiences.
