Artists on Couches: What does it mean to trust the creative process?

“Knowing the difference between what you planned and what you discovered is the best part of making.

Committing to the choice that was unknown moments earlier — that’s trusting the process.

For me, that’s the nature of working with wood – what the material reveals that you didn’t plan for.

Imperfections aren’t the flaw.

They’re the philosophy.

Some I embrace, some take me somewhere unexpected, better.

That’s how I learned trust!” – James Gilbert, Los Angeles, California @jamesgilbertstudio
