"Putting on paint with a palette knife on the other hand is not a good way to work if you're going to go for detail. So really the first step in analyzing your own work and thinking about your own work is really determining where you stand on the spectrum of what you want out of your work, what you think is important, and your message. And is it going to is your message going to get across better if it's done in a realistic very straightforward sort of almost photojournalist way. Or are you really more trying get to the expressive root of it. I happen to be an expressive person. You can probably tell that you know even from this from this collage here. You can tell the expressive use of you know just being willing to tear it up and use the tears and be happy about the tears and you know playing with these wonderful washes and then having these very strong movements between black and white. Those are more consonant with somebody who is thinking about the energy involved in creativity. So sort of sitting down and figuring out you know kind of why you're doing what you're doing is a good first start to criticizing your own work."
