Your vision of a “perfect world” sounds nice indeed.

Working in a field void of creative expression may be why my work is so intense. All day long I yearn to be at my MAC bringing the vision to life. I feel that I’m wasting time, but in reality I’m not. As the non creative, “bring home the bacon” side of my psyche labors away at the day job, the creative side is plowing through ideas, finding inspiration from the mundane. My pocket is never with out sketch book or something to catch that fleeting wave of inspiration. One of my best pieces was caught on the back of an availability sheet I order from while in the john. (T.M.I. sorry,) So in that dichotomy there is much synergy.

I’m afraid I would starve if I tried to freelance. Not that I’m not willing to try, but I’m really not sure how I would corral my own projects to devote time to the ideas of others. A perfect world would be freedom to bring our personal visions to life without fear of poverty.

What I love about it is that it’s very tactile. The many fabrics, fibers, and beads are very yummy and inspiring. It also can be very portable. I primarily work digitally, so getting back to making something by hand can be very meditative. I also walk my dog, getting outside is a must. Not only for the fresh air, exercise, and filling up the 5 senses, but sometimes (especially after a big project) it’s refreshing to see the community busy and remind myself that life really does go on outside of my studio.
