My hobby is Zentangle, an art form that uses limits to help creativity (among other things like mindfulness and gratitude). That is, with pencil you line out a "string" on a 3.5x3.5 tile. You then draw patterns of your choice within the limits of the string, using ink. The resulting piece ends up looking pretty cool, IMO. And part of that is the limit supplied by the string. It's like a guideline, delineating a place to stop, and gives the artist somewhere to start as well. Thus, some of the decisions that an artist is confronted with are already made.
Looks like our limits during this pandemic might provide some sort of stop, and possibly opening up new ways, new habits... good quote. I'll read the article, too.
