Attachement x2 (bonus points)
Andy's post got my memory working:
I once had this painting teacher who started explaining some of her methods to us one day in studio. She once did a series of drawings. One after the other till there was a nice pile of paper. Each a mark of her abilities, talent, and creativity.
And then she burned each and every one of them.
She took the ashes of each drawing and put them in a glass jar, and put them in the faculty show. All we ever got to see were ashes, as well, that's all she had of them physically. Her mind was the only place the drawings actually exist. Her memories (as time goes on) will fade of those till no one remembers what was on those sheets.
While it doesn't sound hopeful, it's freeing.
