Collaborative Challenge

I am working on the collaborative challenge from my classmate Lea Anne. After my initial burst of energy and ideas I was struggling to keep the creative ideas coming. I did not like most of the ideas I was coming up with, so the creative challenge has been good to make me explore some new ideas. I am not sure how effective some of the images are, but it is fun to play around with a focus and see what happens. I remind myself that for every successful piece that comes out, there are a lot of work that go into the "recycle" bin. I am intrigued by the ideas of showing energy and emotion to an otherwise static image, trying to give it the dynamics of passing moments and the flow of energy all around us. So time to sit back digest what I've done and bang around new ideas in the back of my mind. I do want to spend a few hours doing some drawings of secret passages, take a change of pace and media.. All in all it is good to be creating, reflecting and getting inspired. My favorite word is  Temenos ~ a Greek verb loosely translated meaning "sacred sandbox" some place where the magic, divinity, or spiritual can be accessed. I think making art is such a place..
