I'm beginning to see that just knowing the piece is not enough. Having a clear technique is not enough. Having a broad repertory is not enough. I want desperately to get past all those things.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We all need strategies for facing unknown repertory.
I don't feel that I have any great grasp of technique that I should pass along to people.
Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.
To be a truly conscientious artist, you have to look at what's not working and challenge it. You riff on things.
Even in times when it's difficult to figure out, how do you go forward, art - and books - always help.
You don't know how much artists go through to make it look so easy. It's all in the practice.
I don't get wrapped up in technique and the like.
And there is a time where you can be beyond yourself. You can be better than your technique. You can be better than most of your usual ideas. And this is a whole other category that you can get into.
I don't think there is too much art involved in what I do.
Not to be boxed in, to be able to transcend boundaries: for an artist, it's essential.
