How curiosity and research deepen your studio practice (268)

In this episode of The Art Biz, host Alyson Stanfield makes the case that research is not an academic exercise. And it's not separate from your art practice, but part of it.

She encourages you to think of it as leading with curiosity, which strengthens the work and builds confidence.

Alyson draws on her background as an art historian and her own current investigation into timelines to show what this actually looks like in practice.

Alyson reveals:

  • Why "I've always been drawn to this" isn't a good enough answer, and what happens when you push past it
  • The difference between work that is beautiful and work that is about something
  • Why you mustn't research to find the right or best answer, and why you cannot rely on Google and AI for a true research practice
  • How a serious inquiry practice changes your artist statement, collector conversations, and confidence in the work
  • What it means to make curiosity a practice rather than a phase you move through before a project begins
