How Artists Make Decisions

Understanding how we work is essential in our endeavour to be more compassionate, understanding, and successful beings. The secret between audience and artist has long been shrouded by verbose body texts and unprecise interviews. In How Artists Make Decisions, the mechanisms, reasoning, and intention behind art practice are rationalised into diagrams with the intention of portraying the inner workings of a creatives mind, and by extension the human condition.

Inside are twelve examples of this method, complete with descriptive wording, use cases, and unique names. These will offer explainations about how artists make work, and what processes are involved between the accumulation of inspiration, and the execution of the final piece.

By explaining these processes in a new format, we hope to bring the reader closer to the individuals behind art, and establish a commonality between those who create, and those who engage with those creations, with the ultimate aim of strengthening the bonds between all individuals, irrespective of their pursuits.
