The best work I've ever done was always work that wasn't supposed to be my final work. It was supposed to be practice. Supposed to be just for the heck of it. Supposed to just be for fun.
The music I've made that I enjoy looking back on are the CAS evidence videos of my playing banjo, the ones where all the notes and chords and techniques are all messed up.
The drawings I've made that I enjoy looking back on are the doodles I make in my French notebook that I made simply to keep myself from dissociating.
The best digital art I've made that I enjoy looking back on are the pieces that I made trying to figure out what different tools might do or how something works.
The best glitch art I've made that I enjoy looking back on are the ones I made when my dysphoria was so horrible, and I needed some sort of reflection.
And that is how I see the queer art of failure (not the book but the idea), that's how it applies to my works. Because I've almost never made art that I truly thought was beautiful by trying to make it beautiful. It was always about the progression of skill and existance.
