One morning I,
Like most of my ancestors,
Used a bowl
To make my breakfast
And I guess
I must've realized
How beautiful
And practical
That bowl was

A while before I work on the ideas I develop into art pieces, I send them to myself using WhatsApp. I can only presume that this idea came while making breakfast using a bowl.
I suppose I must've thought about how practical, and maybe even beautiful, the bowl was. And about how universal the tool is to humans and has been for centuries.
Or, more likely, I was just in the mood for coming up with ideas.
Sometimes, but rarely, I've got great ideas that, on merit alone, make for great art. If I only were to develop those great ideas, I wouldn't make much art at all.
And because I don't know any rules about making art, I need to make a lot of (less outstanding) art to improve.
So, most of the time, I work on ideas that are merely an excuse to work on more art. But don't get it twisted. These ideas are way more important than the great ones:
The great ideas make a fantastic piece by themselves. But to develop anything good with worse ideas requires putting a special kind of thought into it, which, with time, will make all my art better.
