As artists, it is our job to question the rules and ask if they are relevant or outdated, necessary or arbitrary, helpful or oppressive.

About This Quote

As artists, it is our job to question the rules and ask if they are relevant or outdated, necessary or arbitrary, helpful or oppressive. This is all about making sure that we are not blindly following rules set out by someone else; instead, we are creating our own rules, ones that work for us and make us happy. We can make our own rules like this quote states above by asking ourselves, “Is this rule necessary?” “Is it helping me or hurting me?” “Does it serve the greater good?” “Is this rule outdated?”
