Rewatch

The art we most connect with warrants repeated viewings.

It could be a novel you reread every year, a movie you turn on every time you’re home sick (or homesick), a beloved album, or a tv series (hi, Severance…hi, The West Wing). Whatever it is, I know you have artworks that speak to you and that you can spend a lifetime enjoying over and over again.

As a creator, I always intend to put the care and effort into my works to reward that kind of attention. Next time you are finishing a creative work, ask yourself what it would feel like on the tenth time, the one-hundredth time, the thousandth time.

Consideration of every detail is essential to creative success. Consider the rewatch.
