a case against working for the king

“It is no secret that Ms. Monk rarely does commissions. It seems the current count of commissions she has accepted over her entire career rests around four or five. She explained the reason is because the artist is then working on someone else’s deadline. Not to mention she does not believe in “made to order art.” Benn clarified that Ms. Monk does not even work on her own deadlines, but the project’s deadline. Meaning that she spends the time getting to know the project so that it takes on a life of its own within the creative process, and after working diligently on the project, it reveals to her what it will be ultimately.”
