I’ve been lacking focus in the studio. Since returning from my brief trip to Beijing last week, I’ve been dilly-dallying (cue: hanging head in shame). It’s bad. Really bad. For example, I spent five hours “glazing” yesterday; about three quarters of that time involved numerous tea breaks and chit chat and general dawdling. (As usual, the process of glazing does nothing to inspire me. To be clear, I love thinking about and concocting various cool glaze combinations, but the actual doing often has the undesired effect of killing the inspiration.)
The lack of focus is driving me nuts, but somehow I just can’t figure out what I want to do next. I seem to be caught in this space where there is simultaneously too much to explore and too little to do. That is, there are a lot of ideas swimming in my head yet I’m not ready to commit to any of them. My excuse is that I’m still searching for the idea that is worth sinking time and energy into developing.
Honestly, I know I just have to make a decision and get started on something… anything.
