Hello.
I was just trying to sort out my works to frame them and I realised that some of my earlier works that I liked at the time seem quite unsatisfactory from where I am now
On one hand I feel quite proud because I feel that I have come a long way from those early pieces and learned a lot. On the other hand, I now feel dissatisfied by the old stuff, and I am thinking if I should still list it in my website at all.
It seems a huge waste of time to have had them all photographed and described and whatnot and now taking them off the website. Especially since I am very lazy in listing new stuff there (I am probably 1 year behind or something). But, I would not want people to look at them and think that is my work in its totality.
I am almost thinking about making them again with my new knowledge, making them differently: did you ever rework an old piece idea? What was your experience?
And what to do with an old piece that you feel does not satisfy you anymore? I do not think that I would have the gut to cut and reuse it, and probably it is good for my soul to see it as is and compare what I can and would do today. It is easy to cut and reuse old samples and total failures, but those pieces are finished pieces that I liked at the time..
