Maybe creativity isn't something we find, maybe it's something we make room for?
To me, it's about creating conditions where ideas can find you, rather than constantly chasing them.. I have many moments that I find it hard to make my way to my bench, and it shouldn't be as it is less than 15 steps from my back door.
But I do, I find all the hundreds of other things I need to do first. Pack the dish washer, put on another load of washing, sweep the floor, look at insta just incase someone has enquired about a piece of jewellery, pat my dog, text a friend for coffee and my list goes on & on & on...
Do you do that as well?
Anyway back to my statement, when I create the conditions which is simply walking to my studio and sitting at my bench, or starting to tidy up my studio space I feel a feeling that is similar to those bubbles in a soft drink start to rise deep within and within seconds an idea as landed and off I go. And it's in those moments that I think why did it take me so long to sit my butt down and pick up a tool or two?
