As a textile artist I know that I work big.  Big for me is about 5 feet x 5 feet for many of pieces.  The piece I'm currently working on is 43x70.  There's big and then there's enormous and that's what you'll find at the Denver Botanic Gardens where the "Big Bugs: Gigantic Eco-Sculpture" exhibit is a main attraction in the garden.

The work is by artist David Rogers.  He's been creating thse sculptures since his teens.  The idea for the big bug exhibit surfaced 19 years ago.  Consider this when you're creating your next body of work, he's been doing this for 18 years at this scale and intensity.  At this point there are 40 pieces in the collection and 10 are at the Botanic Gardens.

It really is about passion because he began creating with forest materials back in 1975.  He's no stranger to organic forms and materials.  This is why sticking with something is so important.  Wouldn't you like to be a master at something instead of a jack of all trades, but a master of none?  What makes him so successful is he's an expert at what he does.  No matter what arena you play in all over the world...experts get paid more and earn more than generalists.

What are you going to do to bring yourself and your art to the level of a master?  How would your work change if you focused your attention on digging deep instead of creating a lot of shallow holes.  The choice is yours and the proof will show in your level of success.

Up to the challenge?
