honestly? it's a mix. i start with materials, time, overhead obviously. but then i usually have to look at it and feel what it wants to be. some pieces just scream "i'm worth more than you think," and others are like, "just get me out of here." i don't have a formula, which i know is probably not what you want to hear, but it's true. that emotional gut check is huge.
The emotional gut check, yes! This is exactly what I mean. It’s not the simple equation people think it is. Some days I look at a piece and think, ‘This must sell for X,’ and then a week later I am looking at it and thinking, ‘No, it requires more.’ It is difficult to translate this into words for interviews. Thank you for sharing this honest thought.
