Discerning Your Direction as an Artist with Marianne Lettieri (234)

“I think discernment is such a powerful word. It implies slowness, and attention, and trust.”

“Just because something shows up doesn’t mean I have to follow it or do something about it.”

“I look around and think: What do I already have that I can use? What have I ignored?”

“I really believe that how we spend our time is how we live our lives.”

“I find comfort in the structure of a regular studio practice. I’m always sorting, assembling, arranging—even if I’m not producing a finished piece.”

“I don’t want to race to finish something. I want to let the materials and the ideas tell me when it’s done.”

“This work is rooted in memory—both personal and collective. The materials carry history with them.”

“It’s not about the latest trend. It’s about what I can do with what’s already here.”
