Some of us are called to the creative life of the artist or artisan. All of us are called by Soul to tread territory that is new, rich and reflects our core values and unique purpose.
In life there is always a dance of expansion and contraction, flow and resistance.
Art making generates flow, movement, possibility....Elation! Delight!
It is metaphor in action.....metaphor that is alive and functional.
In the spirit of playful innocence, an invitation is extended that you designate time:
• Choose the visceral over the virtual
• The sensory over head tripping
• Follow your Inner Muse, its impulses and inspirations
• Permission to enter the field of uncertainty into acts of willful creation
• Improvise, explore, go wild.....Get unstuck! Be surprised!
The Ritual Process (sans critique):
Choose your medium and let the good, the bad, the ugly, erupt/pour/trickle into a receptive spaciousness. Fill the blank page from a blank mind and a willing emotion.
Use:
paint, oil pastels, ink, pencil
A musical instrument ripping with riffs and rhythm
A quiet room with you singing scat (syllables without words)
Your body lifted in dance (with grace, grunt or glory)
The clay pressed, pinched, rolled into fluid forms
A collage of juxtaposed images that clash with ferocity/dreaminess/longing
Power words painted all over a page.
Allow your inner pressure cooker to let off steam in a form that calls to you. This is preventive medicine, this is a taste of freedom. Wherever you are in the continuum, your life is to be celebrated...imperfections and all. Be cleansed, renewed and turned on!!
