Scratching was her idea of finding new ideas. She says you can scratch anything at any time to gain inspiration. It is a nice idea, but I think in reality, to make work that really interests you as an artist, you have to find the right things to "scratch". I don't think i could "scratch" at an ordinary shopping bag and get ideas. I feel like i need something a little more than that. I can focus on one thing and probably make a piece of work from it, but to me it wouldn't be art. But in a studio, scratching would be, as we have mentioned before, keeping piles of interesting stuff around. I say "stuff" because it could actually be anything. I like the idea of scratching, and I can see it working, but for me, I need a little bit more direction.
