Maturity of work has nothing to do with shows, reviews or the fact that someone happens to like your work. It is the natural fruition that comes with intimacy with your own work and an embrace of all that comes with the commitment to your journey – success, curiosity, pain, boredom, desperation, sadness, disappointment, elation, epiphany, frustration, inspiration, work work work work work. Anything else is ego-illusion. Getting back on that horse myself.
