block - rose

​shaun dunne is incredible. the workshop we did with him will remain with me for as long as i create. i often experience a block when i’m trying to make something, and at this point, i’d just consider it lucky if i ever got an uninterrupted stream of creativity and ideas. however, i realized in talking to shaun that i have the power to give myself the gift of an uninterrupted stream of creativity and ideas if i acknowledge the block that i’m having and think about why it’s there. i don’t have to wait around helplessly until i suddenly have the idea for a project that comes to fruition in ten minutes. i can create that for myself by working with my blocks/obstacles instead of against them. additionally, shaun validated for me that being afraid an audience won’t have a reaction to my art is a healthy fear, and it shouldn’t stop me from putting all of my passion into my work.
