The gap between the feeling and the doing
I started the year with the intention of slowing down and taking my time deciding what to do with my creative practice (currently my curatorial practice). I had made arrangements and come to terms with the fact that I was going to be doing less in my creative consultancy business – fewer client sessions, teaching and events – for a few months. That this was necessary to be able to think, explore and understand what I wanted to create and contribute to the world. So, why would this plan change, now?
Why does this sudden enforcement of slowing down, distancing and solitude (which felt so necessary in January) actually make me feel like I should be doing more, being busy, creating stuff and getting it out there, right now?! I feel like I’m part of a race I didn’t sign up to.
