Obsession is one defining factor in what we deem to be an artistic practice.

Everything can be an art form if the element of obsession is present, because the nature of obsession is dominance, and as we have previously discussed, creativity is not something you do, it is a way of being in the world.

What are you obsessed with? If the answer seems non-existent, go beyond mediums, think only in terms of obsession. Is there an idea that consumes you? Or perhaps a person, a place, a feeling? What would be needed for you to become obsessed with something? An emotion like love? A fear?

If beginning with yourself is too tough, pick someone in your immediate surroundings, a co-worker, a friend, a partner, and try to determine their obsession. This will build a framework of analyses that you can then use on yourself.

Be absurdly forensic in these thought processes. Mine for meaning in the music returned to, the phrases repeated, the clothing worn. Become obsessed with obsession itself. Notice what shifts.
