30 Days to immerse yourself fully in your artistic process with clear boundaries.

30-DAY ART CHALLENGE

The 30-Day Art Challenge was undertaken as a focused period of daily engagement with making, attention, and reflection. Rather than aiming for finished outcomes, the challenge functioned as a container for sustained presence, showing up each day without pre-determined results.

Working within the constraint of daily practice shifted the emphasis away from evaluation and towards responsiveness. Decisions were made intuitively, often quickly, allowing patterns and habits to surface. Some works resolved, others stalled or failed, but each contributed to a deeper understanding of process.

Over the course of the challenge, a series of insights emerged, not as conclusions, but as observations about rhythm, momentum, doubt, play, and persistence. These were later articulated through short written reflections, forming a parallel body of work that mirrors the visual practice. See BLOG to read further on these reflections.

The challenge reinforced several core aspects of my ongoing approach:

  • that progress is not linear,

  • that unresolved work holds value,

  • and that meaning often arrives after the act of making, not before it.

This page brings together selected works and reflections from the 30-day period, viewed not as a discrete project, but as a concentrated moment within a larger, evolving practice.
