Reasons for Artists to Make Art in Series
Advantages to Bodies of Work Over Single Pieces
"The idea of working in series or in distinct purposeful directions is actually the opposite of condemning oneself to a life of sameness or repetition. The process is not about repetition at all, but rather about being able to explore, investigate, examine or address particular ideas, themes, compositions, concepts or topics in deeper and more meaningful ways and from a greater variety of perspectives than from just one or two. It's like looking at something under a microscope as opposed to giving it a casual passing glance. The closer you look, the more you see."
