Response to Scratching
According to Twyla Tharp scratching is a way of changing your environment and trying to find new and more exciting ideas or inspirations to express yourself. Essentially Tharp suggests to scratch you must not try too hard to think of that one big idea, but instead grow off the small ideas and use them to create that big idea. I beleive Tharps suggestions, when applied to me working with art in a studio, will inspire to take that step back when I'm lost for inspiration and go from there.

it seems to me that, for you, the sketchbook and/or the computer might be a place to "scratch". when i see you working on the computer you don't appear to be worrying about "the big idea". rather, you're layering small ideas on top of each other over time. maybe the computer is a place to start?
