SPARKBOX ART HOW TO
More recently, I taught myself linocutting and joined a print making cooperative called Megalo in Canberra to learn how to print my works professionally. I basically stopped what I had been doing and for a long time engaged in what I thought of as mucking around, including going to basic courses with my partner Denise. The period was creative and immensely satisfying. For ten years, I became what I termed an accidental artist, but I was inspired by what I was doing and powered ahead without thinking more than necessary about the process. This is not meant to be overly philosophical, but I am interested in my own practice. You are more likely to be experimental and to seek out new directions. You can either accept the hiatus or you can seek out reasons and techniques to cope with change. You may be frustrated that things aren’t the way they used to be, but you also have the tools to analyse why. When things change, you may be more able to understand. And, you have barely enough time to make the work you are driven to create. While you may not pay much attention to your process when the flow is energetic, creative and satisfying. The benefits I see are that you are at least aware of the flow of your work and its direction.
Tony Stewart, Untitled 1, November 2018, Linocut, 30 x 30 cm I naturally fit in to the former camp and because of this I tend to see some benefits, though not enough to justify any artist from changing their natural inclinations. With reference to art, some artists are interested in the process of how they make art and why, while others just get on with it.
Except in biology, I thought occasionally the gung ho approach led to an indifference to statistical processes and sometimes to poor and even wrong analysis. This approach didn’t have any direct negative consequences. Most scientists, however, don’t give a hoot about the process or philosophy of science other than learning to conduct their work as a rigorous practice that passes muster under the peer review system.
Indeed, I was interested in the philosophy of science and science practice. When I was involved in science (biology), I was very interested in the process of how science works. I don’t know how many artists consider the process of their art and their art practice and how many never reflect upon it.
