The Work That Exists

I’ve always thought, and still do, that I want to be creating Something until the day I’m done doing anything.

But how much is enough? And what about the creations that already seem to be complete?

I’ve decided to turn more of my energy towards editing, framing, organising and archiving The Work That Exists right now. And I’m belatedly realising that this is a huge part of the creative process. One which I’ve always tended to approach far too haphazardly. And one which scares and intimidates me to an extent.

Not that I’m done, by a long stretch, with making New Stuff, you understand. And it’s true that I’ve delved into this subject before.

But, like some weird Northern Hemisphere Bird Of Paradise, I’m beginning to start figuring out how I can build the perfect bower to show off all my existing feathery glory to its best effect.

If you’ve got it flaunt it!
