Success of Failure
Success dwells in the shadows of failure's boundless potential! Or rather, the theoretical idea of failure.. I appreciate the author's acknowledgment of failure as a starting point into another body of work, or refinement of your intentions. Our ever-changing idea of "rightness" (in the art world, at least) gives me the feeling that it's impossible to achieve a personal understanding of success from your work. That is, unless you've reached an ending point or a final destination; that last image you'll ever create or the final time you'll ever critically think of work. For this reason, failure is a necessary motivator! An instigator, even. As for the idea of failure through unfinished work and mental obstacles- how do we interpret this as failure? Have we learned from our beginnings, or do we move towards something blindly without recognition of the steps taken to achieve even the most basic conceptual thought of our work.
