I cut my own hair today.
Lockdown is helping me try new things!
I was well prepared: YouTube tutorial, clippers, scissors, and naive confidence.
The hardest part about cutting your own hair, though, is each moment is a point of no return. Make a mistake, and you can’t go back.
It gave me a newfound appreciation for the sculptor’s dilemma.
Unlike art forms that are mostly additive—like painting—the sculptor reveals their art by subtraction. It requires a crystal clear vision before they begin.
Let’s just say that based on today’s events, I don’t plan on taking up sculpting any time soon.
