If I threw everything in my studio into a pot,
what would I get?
Paints, papers, inks, glues, rocks, feathers, books and brushes
computer, pens, pencils, erasers, easel, desk and cabinets
canvases, boards, tiles, buckets, and more
Would I create a masterpiece like our universe?
Would I produce life
like the unknown force that tossed everything in existence together
to trigger the Big Bang?
No,
that won’t happen
but it could be a way to find a new direction for my work.
I need to mix it up.
Put disparate items together.
Nietzsche said, out of chaos, comes order.
That’s my plan – create a mess and find a way out of it.
Challenge myself to discover a new creative expression.
Yes, this is it!
Sounds like a plan!
Well said and I actually love the theme of creation and wanting to create something and not knowing how. I loved your reference to Nietzsche! I especially loved the first stanza where you describe throwing everything in… it made for quite an imagery!
Thanks Bhasha ! Once the dust settles, I’m going to take a day to just put lots of different ‘stuff’ together and see what happens.
