5C: Locust Pose

A locust line drawing that emerged from an exploratory pattern-seeking exercise in response to 5B: Reverse Umbra. Compare Figures 2 & 3. Do you recognize the same pattern in the dirt image?

5A: Sawdust Walker

I enjoyed walking in the soft, cool sawdust today. I focused my attention on the physical sensation in my feet, taking a short video at the end of my walking meditation to capture a starting point for future artistic exploration. Follow the thread to 5B: Reversed Dirt. What shapes will appear in the dirt?

Creative Ritual Exploration

Above, I am experimenting with various affordances in a creative environment.

4D: Grapes in Motion

Path I started with 4A: Five Saucers, then moved into 4B: Miss Moon, followed by 4C: Dino Sock Guy. Studies Below, I explore visual representations of electric ‘threads’ (i.e., potential choices) as they jump inside a ‘grape’ (i.e., a moment of creative potential). The threads I choose create a path between grapes. I represent the […]

4A: Saucers and Birds

Path From here, I go to 4B: Miss Moon. Studies Documentation

I “found” the number 7 shape and fleshed out the observation. I wondered what the 7 could mean. To find out […]

3A: I’m Going To Turn This Into Something Else

I plan to add layers of glass over this section of the wall to make additional markings over the top of the yellow thread. The thread was laid randomly during reflection time and it appears that a “7” emerged. I feel a sense of possibility with this new section of the wall where I can […]

A Place To Create: Sitting “Levels”

Note the audio-video plus visual arts possibilities. I keep these at my fingertips intentionally. There is a sensory reduction space in the left corner, behind the curtain. I have a wall where I put up 8 images sometimes to compare and contrast and let my mind wander. There is a collage of ideas on this […]

Our Environments Make A Difference For Creativity

Our environments matter in terms of their creativity-affording potential. I am currently organizing sticky notes. I have time and space and materials to create. I am in solitude and I have a multi-sensory environment with “levels” of engagement. What do I mean by levels? I mean that I can engage with ideas on: (1) a […]
