All artists are damaged — with Loribelle Spirovski
Q: How do you know personally when a piece of art is good, or when your art is good?
A work often passes a two-week living room test for me; if I can't stop staring at it over two weeks and it feels genuinely compelling, then it's likely good and true to my vision.
All artists are damaged — with Loribelle Spirovski
