Oct. 24th, 2008 05:25 pmMalcolm Gladwell, who I love for a variety of reasons, has produced an article that leaves me still more in his debt.
With his usual combo of research and interview, he draws a distinction between prodigies (which I've always known I wasn't) and experimentalists, which label I can cheerfully claim. I have been making things in fabric for years. I finally feel I am making interesting things, and improving. It has been a long time, and I have been distracted by small things like children and horses, but I am more encouraged now than I have been for a while.
Forward!
