I've been attempting to create a daily art practice for the past few months, with a little success and lots of fits and starts. A couple of weeks ago, I got myself in a real anxiety tangle, but so, so happily a friend of mine introduced me to Danielle Krysa (aka The Jealous Curator). After downloading all of her books from the library onto my Kindle — not ideal for art books, but good enough during a pandemic when the libraries have been closed for months — I inhaled Creative Block. Each chapter is an interview with a different artist, and at the end, each gives an exercise to break through a block. I can't cite the artist who came up with the technique that really helped me since my copy is back with the library now, but it's just this: go through your old pieces that don't work, cut them up, and make something new from them. So simple, but it freed me! And now I've started a whole series that I'm in love with. 

BONUS: Danielle's The Jealous Curator podcast is a series of conversations with artists. She's in season 4 now, so there are lots of episodes to catch up on!
