Paula Parole speaks about pushing past reassurance, risk, and the edges of her own practice.
Speaking with Victoria Comstock-Kershaw, the two reflect on the strange cycle of making, from the moment something feels resolved to the instinct to disrupt it and push further.
For Parole, it’s about stepping beyond comfort and testing limits, while Comstock-Kershaw describes the familiar swing between self-doubt and conviction - from “this is the worst thing ever made” to complete belief in the work. Together, they touch on distance, perspective, and the importance of protecting your process, knowing when to step away, and who not to listen to.
