A quandary along the road: more older, more confuser

I'm working on seven sculptural pieces right now.
All but one, they are all fairly well along in terms of completion.
But in working towards completion, I now question each one to the point of deadlock-
Does the piece have relevancy? Does it use too many "cliches"(conventional and/or personal)?
Am i repeating myself? Is this work too remote from "my" style (voiding consistency, therefore  credibility)? Shouldn't "good "work take longer to create?
Is this a spin with insecurity or a valid questioning?
Beginning the pieces, there were none of these doubts-I wouldn't have taken them so far along.
Working with them for so long, I'm now blind to seeing them objectively.
