First, write down a few questions (3-5, maybe) you have about/for the work. Here are some examples to get you started: "What is your title? Are you finished? Is there anything you have to say? Is there anything you want?"
Only after you've written them down, sit with the piece (in meditation if you like) and one-by-one, ask the questions. Allow the answers to arise.
After the dialog is over, write down the answers so you remember. If there were no answers in words, track any feelings, images, etc. that came up.
(Personally I like to say thank you to the piece as well!)
This can help you decide how and if you'd like to move forward.

Here's a technique from Margaret Lindsay:

i'm intrigued by the organic, body-like nature of these. curious about the difference in process between last quarter and now.
