Slow Art: Trusting the Process When Progress Feels Impossible

When your creative project stalls and the doubts start racing in, how do you find your way back to the work? This week Lyndon and Breallyn explore the idea of slow art: embracing the process, sitting with doubt, and trusting the work even when progress has ground to a halt. Breallyn shares an account of her writing project losing momentum, and what a visit to Bruno’s Art and Sculpture Garden in Marysville revealed about what it looks like to build a creative life — and rebuild it — over decades. From Tolkien’s 12-year road to Middle Earth to the feeling of being “gorged out” by too much beauty at once, this episode is a gentle reminder that the best things rarely arrive in a hurry.Pain In The Arts is a weekly podcast about the reality of creative life.
