Permaculture Principle #4

Apply Self-Regulation and Feedback.

We are all influenced by our surroundings. Environments shape behaviours. Paying attention to the environment(s) we spend time in, and how they influence our thoughts and our actions, is a key tool for an artist. Ultimately, our environments - both mental and physical - show up in our art. This principle requires us to be open, to see and accept both the reality of the result of our actions (or inactions) and listen to and consider what others - and the world - are trying to tell us.
