Sol Lewitt’s brilliant advice

In 1965 young sculptor Eva Hesse wrote to conceptual artist Sol Lewitt complaining of creative block.  This is what he told her:

“Just stop thinking, worrying, looking over your shoulder wondering, doubting, fearing, hurting, hoping for some easy way out…stop bitching, moaning, groaning, honing, boning, horse-shitting, hair-splitting and nit picking.. don’t worry about cool, make your own uncool.  Stop worrying about big deep things.  You are not responsible for the world – you are not responsible for the world – you are only responsible for your work – so DO IT”.  And she did.
