I think it's something lots of people battle with- the need to feel like we are doing something 'proper' and 'important'. The idea that unless we are doing something that will make our parents proud we are faking it.

If you want a kick in the pants come join my summer school! Isn’t all art nonsensical in some way- putting pins in fabric makes as much sense as painting a horse surely?
