Life as the Great Work is a collection of 24 essays for people who make things, the painters, writers, musicians, photographers, and filmmakers who know both the beauty and the pressure of a working creative life. But its door opens wider than that.
Creativity is what your attention looks like when it directly meets what you encounter. It isn’t confined to a studio. It’s available on an ordinary day to anyone who wants to live one more awake.
The essays take up attention, ritual, completeness, going back to abandoned projects, the conditions under which good work tends to happen, and the conditions under which it doesn't. Each closes with a question for the reader. Original artwork runs throughout.
