My advice is to just keep working because if you are worried about whether your work is great art, or any kind of art at all, you are wasting time. You have to be dead a long time before society figures out what may be your worth to the world. And besides, who knows whether today’s art will be tomorrow’s ‘important work’ or yesterday’s kitsch.
