Trying To Fail

Trying to Fail is a year-long experiment in rebuilding creative courage.

After a decade of documenting the work of other artists, I realized I had forgotten how to make things for myself. I became too careful, too rigid, and too afraid of getting it wrong.

So for 52 weeks I am making one thing every week and filming the process. Some weeks that means hand printing lino cuts, making stop motion animation from card stock, or distorting typography with water and a camera burst mode. Other weeks it means carving eraser stamps, printing cyanotypes, or weaving a snuffle mat for my dog. The medium changes every week. The approach stays the same. Start from failure and see what happens.
