08. make art for no audience


Listen Later

this episode is all about deconstructing and letting go of the pressure to “build an audience.” I’ll disentangle the practice of being an artist — from the byproduct of having an audience — and share how finding freedom from that pressure creates a well of personal power (and paradoxically, will magnetize your audience). we'll explore:

  • three sources of pressure: (1) artist recognition as legitimacy (2) the digital age of visibility (3) the inner artist child
  • a core guiding question to distill your commitment to your art
  • the practice of power as seeing yourself — and the other
  • reframing the audience as witness & travel companion to your journey

  • additional resources:

    build a world, not an audience

    the obscurus as a wounded artist child
