Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees.
Paul Valéry

Boredom is a very good tool. Because whenever you play creative games, you normally bring to the situation all your aspirations, assumptions, ambitions – all your stuff. And then you pile it all onto the painting, everything you want it to be. Boredom breaks that. You do the same thing over and over until you’re bored with it. Then all your Illusions, aspirations, just drains off. Now what you see is what you get, in all its threadbare reality, its lack of structure, its lack of meaning.
Robert Irwin
