When creativity is flowing you feel alive and vital. But there are fallow periods in any artist’s life, and that is when you need to nurture yourself and build a scaffolding to support you as you revitalise your artistic practice.
All in soul purpose
Art, Space & Time
Art is never created in a vacuum. It is always a product of its time, taking its influences from politics, society and the artist’s experiences of life. Art challenges and disrupts, it expands our thinking as I discovered this week at the Tate Modern in London.
Cyanotypes and Screenprints
When I struggle to make sense of the world or my purpose in it, I realise that life is a constantly evolving journey. When I combined the cyanotype images made during my artist residency in Iceland last year, with screenprinted cosmic portals, I felt time looping backwards and forwards through my artworks.
Ordering Chaos
When you’re feeling unhinged and not quite in touch with your inner self, look around for the tools you have to hand to put some structure back into your life. This helps turn experience into beauty, transforming the chaos into poetic metre, a daily ode to life told line by line, word by word, image by image.
