a few of sister corita kent’s rules:
Rule 7
The only rule is work.
IF YOU WORK IT WILL LEAD TO SOMETHING.
IT’S THE PEOPLE WHO DO ALL OF THE WORK ALL THE TIME
WHO EVENTUALLY CATCH ON TO THINGS.
Rule 8
DON’T TRY TO CREATE AND ANALYZE AT THE
SAME TIME. THEY’RE DIFFERENT PROCESSES.

“Consciousness rejuvenates everything, giving a quality of beginning to the most everyday actions.” Bachelard, the poetics of space
Uniqueness comes from passion and not adhering to any rules that may force the artist to make even one stroke that was unintended. Designers must create chaotic and truly original pieces to display their artistic prowess and then apply those unique methods to their design at work, and I think this will create a truly harmonious balance between art and design.
