How other's view of what is 'good' art holds back our creativity and what we can do to loosen the grip of perfectionism
- Inspired by a conversation at the school gates, in this podcast episode I talk about:
- The curse of perfectionism (and the restricted view that ‘good’ art must look like the subject)
- Worrying about what others think vs considering how I can improve
- Creativity is life
- The creative life as a river
- What I think art is
- One tip on how to loosen the grip of perfectionism
Mentioned in the podcast
- Reith lectures with Grayson Perry
- Women Who Run With The Wolves book by Clarissa Pinkola Éstes
- The Gifts Of Imperfection book by Brené Brown
- The Artists Way book by Julia Cameron
