You’ve got to look at your art, whatever it may be, all the time because it’s full of easter eggs for you. You’ve got to find ways of sitting present with it, to look past the traditional things we critique (form, color, idea, style, theme) to see what it contains of you. Formal elements are essential in art, of course, but you’ve got to do both: work in a structured manner, a process, and look at what you’re playing with in this conversation back to you!
