Description

In this episode of I Like Your Work, we dive into the power of not knowing in the creative process. Inspired by the 14th-century mystical text The Cloud of Unknowing, we explore why uncertainty isn’t something to fear—it’s actually essential to making meaningful art. Artists throughout history have embraced the unknown to create work that surprises, moves, and connects.
 
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
  • How letting go of control can lead to breakthroughs in your work
  • Three simple ways to embrace not knowing in your studio practice
  • Why trying to define your work too soon can actually limit its potential
