How would you describe something fragile? Easily broken? Something soft and delicate? How would you care for it? Gently handling it? Fumbling in your hands? Somethings in this world are fragile and need to be thoughtfully cared for. Not all things in this world are made from hard steel. Other objects require a gentle approach otherwise they can break right in our hands. But there are things in this world that are intangible. How can you protect something that can’t be seen? If I gave it a shape, could I admire it more? It would be easier to admire, right? Is it more precious now that it’s been given a shape? Can I protect it?
A lot of thought goes into the creative process. My practice takes apart of me every time. Each piece important, each piece loved and carefully tended to. The creative process is a sentimental process. Each piece takes time and is built on layer by layer. Some layers are simple, others are complex. Each has its own rhythm and slowly build on each other. Taking time and patience to understand.
