I'm so involved in the process that sometimes at the end of a day, I can look at the piece on my desk and really wonder how it got there. At other times, I really have to struggle with a piece to turn it into what I had in mind. Sometimes, I give up and leave it half finished to work on something else. Then in a few days, when I come back to it, I can see what it wants to be... which sometimes is not at all what I had in mind. When I just let that happen, things seem to go more smoothly. ↗

Na escola, a mediocridade vem regada à busca de novas teorias pedagógicas (normalmente com baixíssimo impacto ou possibilidade de verificação de suas premissas); na universidade, vem vestida de burocracia da produtividade e corporativismo de bando; na arte, nos discursos contemporâneos sobre a "destruição da forma". Modos distintos de "fazer nada" ocupando tempo e gerando institucionalização e papo-furado cheio de jargão técnico. ↗
