Kind of like the question put to the artist: How do you know when you’re done? :)
The answer to LA Cochran’s trick question is “never.”
“Art is never finished, only abandoned.”
– Leonardo da Vinci
Hammer: I don’t think it’s true that art is never finished, just abandoned. I think that’s true sometimes, but sometimes, there’s a feeling of completion…of, “that’s it – that’s exactly what I want to say.” The trick is being able to let go in the cases when that absolute certainty never arrives…
I wrote a post asking “when is a piece of art done?” a while back – a re-post of a discussion from the Wooster Collective, actually. Check out the responses – very interesting perspectives: http://www.creativedc.org/2009/04/when-is-a-piece-of-art-done/
An incredible quote! I’ll be adding that one to my site as well, and crediting you appropriately. :)
