What are some of your design "rules"..?

[odie]

Odie, I do not think of them as rules but preferences. An artist knows all of the preferences imposed by others but knows when to disregard them. In the silly stuff I like to do, you will find balance but never the golden mean.

Okay....."preferences" is probably a better word to use here, as "rules" implies rigidity. I have my own preferences, and they are from time to time, flexible.

LOL - that is so true

Ahhhh, preferences, AKA, the comfort zone!!

I’m curious as to why my comfort zone almost always grows to become more uncomfortable!

I find myself constantly searching for “peace of mind”; trying to jettison past, learned disabilities (maybe?). I suppose my segmenting/ woodturning is mimicking this journey as well!!

“Change/ answers is growth”……..right????

I will say, it is a very entertaining show to be a part of!!

Ugly is a legitimate design choice. Our insistence in pursuing “pretty” throws a lot of possibilities out of the window. Think about it. If something is ugly, you must incorporate other qualities to make a piece special. That means you as an artist must step up to the plate. “Pretty” is easy.
