Sally-Anne Ashley: 我在艺术创作中找到方向性，是因为之前感到迷茫，需要更多内在驱动力。我之前感到迷茫，因为创作的可能性太多，让我不知所措。我需要一个线索来引导我的创作，从一幅画延续到下一幅画，而不是每次都从零开始。我用思维导图来理清思路，将各种想法关联起来，找到创作的真正焦点。通过思维导图，我找到了创作的真正焦点，它存在于我的教学中，也应该融入我的绘画创作。表达内在情感的方法不是通过询问他人，而是通过大量的练习和探索不同材料和技法来找到适合自己的方式。我通过列清单和词语联想，并深入研究这些词语，来找到创作的焦点。为了让想法发展，我们需要全身心地投入，相信自己的想法。有时我们会回避一些想法，是因为我们不知道最终结果会是什么样子。发展想法需要循序渐进，从小而可行、熟悉的步骤开始，避免一开始就给自己过大的压力。回顾过去的创作，可以帮助我们找到创作的兴奋点和方向。我更注重创作过程而非最终成品，并对自己的创作过程保持好奇和接纳。我练习不执着于创作结果，接纳创作过程中的各种情绪。多年来，我总是对自己说“不”，这让我失去了很多创作机会，也让我失去了对自己的信念。为了发展自己的艺术事业，我曾经全身心地投入，即使这意味着牺牲很多。我会记录下所有涌现的想法，即使当时没有时间处理，也可能在未来找到机会整合它们。 Louise Fletcher: 艺术家需要拥抱不确定性，在未知中探索，才能让想法不断发展。自我接纳和接纳自己创作的每一件作品，对于艺术家的发展至关重要。艺术创作应该注重过程而非结果，如同冥想一样，关注内在体验而非外在产物。即使是低风险、低成本的创作尝试，也值得去做，因为你不知道它会带来什么。在面对外界的质疑时，要坚守内心的信念，相信自己创作的价值。深入思考和分析创作想法，更有利于作品的销售和推广。我们应该对创作过程中出现的各种想法保持开放的心态，因为它们可能并非干扰，而是重要的线索。坚持每天进行创作练习，即使时间很短，也能激发更多创意。低风险、低成本的创作尝试，可以帮助我们降低压力，并激发更多创意。

Shownotes Transcript

This week, Louise is joined by special guest Sally-Anne Ashley for a discussion on how to develop and nurture ideas within our art practice. This is a topic that we are both passionate about and, while we approach it in slightly different ways, our end goal remains the same. We both seek to find a focus that sustains us, while also staying open and experimental.

During our conversation, we cover the importance of play, the need for self-acceptance, and the vital role that ideas play in our work.
