Something I wrote in an email thread with other artists/makers…
My sense of websites, having had lots over the years that I started, finished, redesigned, endlessly tweaked, and deleted, is that they are never done and that is what can make them great.
The “finished” or “ready” website is often too late to do what we want it to do. It can feel immediately static or out of sync with where we are. Websites are, by nature, fluid and changeable things and so it can be wonderful to just let them do that and connect us with where we are.
I think the harder question is whether to narrow the focus of a website to display one version of ourselves. I have struggled with that. My current website is me in the various states that my creative practice takes but doesn’t really touch much on what I have done to make money over the last 30+ years as a designer and only lightly touches on the years in which photography was my primary art form.
We spilt ourselves into these versions of identity.
