These are questions that matter, questions that recur at each stage of artistic development - and they are the
source for this volume of wonderfully incisive commentary. Art & Fear explores the way art gets made, the reason
it often doesn't get made, and the nature of the difficulties that cause so many artists to give up along the way.
This is a book about what it feels like to sit in your studio or classroom, at your wheel or keyboard, easel or
camera, trying to do the work you need to do. It is about committing your future to your own hands, placing Free
Will above predestination, choice above chance. It is about finding your own work.
