This work is focusing on the proces of making art and the dialogs the mind has whilst working. Within the stillness of the creating, the mind is continually in dialog with oneself or imaginary situations, or shopping lists or anything really. However, not all thoughts are helpful for the making process or for me when making.

The quest is not to dwell too long on questions or thoughts that hinder this process and takes away the focus of the labour itself. It is a matter of taking every thought captive, weigh them, and just use the ones that are beneficial.
