Hello readers,
My life has gotten very blank slate/empty again with a parttime greenhouse job done for the winter, no courses ahead and a drought of music. Not feeling entirely bubbly about this (to put it veeeerrrrryy mildly) but trying to keep my mind busy and sane. Here are some quotes from a book I just read on creativity and faith by Gary Molander. I haven't decided if I agree with all of them but they make me think.
"The first myth is that art is some sort of feeling. It's a mood to be summoned from the ether. But creativity is a practice. It's an action. To bring it into to being you must act as if it's already there. It's a lot like love. You may not always feel it, but the more you act upon it, the more you'll experience it."
"Art..reminds me that not everything needs to be resolved for it to be beautiful."
"Beware the artist whose skill level surpasses their character."
"There should be no difference between our lives and our art. It is all the same. We all have but one body of work."
"Creativity, in the Divine sense, is when we see a void, then fill it with ourselves."
"An artist is a heart condition, not a job."
