All things have a point of origination. That origination can be organic and internal or can be inspirational and external. At times the internal and external collide and burst into ideas that can manifest great things.  Like the sand and stone drug from the river bed, past experience, creativity, and events begin to trickle into this inspirational stream and somewhere further down, the river drops over the rocky fall of process and forms into a pool of completion.However, it is just the nature of water to avoid rest possibly in fear of evaporation.

Organic fluidity keeps creativity moving, it can both inhibit and prohibit the completion of projects. Often this fluidity prevents a termination or destination and keeps the art in a state of flux and indecisiveness. Thoughts such as, “this could use a bit more” or “I’m not sure this is done yet” overwhelm the present state. This momentum can be good at times for taking the old and making it new again. Fluidity of the creative process is propelling me to take the past and sew it into a new future.

   This is the beginning of a process of tearing things apart to clean space for something new. This work has been stagnant for years and is now evaporating, soon it will form a dense cloud, and rain down into something new and fresh. For now, the sounds of ripping canvas, puffs of dust escaping in small bursts of movement, and emptiness will keep me busy until those clouds are full enough to pour.
