Striving for perfection is paralyzing. Better to produce and make a lot (quantity) rather than aim for ‘quality’.

Quality is subjective

First problem: the notion of ‘quality’ is totally subjective.

When we try to make ‘quality’, we are just trying to impress others. And if we are striving to impress others, we will more likely make boring stuff.

Why strive towards perfection?

Horace once said:

“I shall make a monument more lasting than bronze!”

But — is anything and everything meant to last forever?

Perhaps not.

As artists, is it more fun to embrace ephemerality in life, and delight in it?
