I feel strongly in what the creative arenas can do. How they can inspire change by tapping into emotion and intellect. Our humanity.
Say what you will to my romanticism but this is fact. Action and purpose.
To thrive.
To push.
To pull.
To will.
To love.
Action is an act of doing. An act of creating. In these troubling times action is a creative force of many levels and arenas. A push and pull forward.

Sometimes an object has meaning and memories attached, that's when they become story tellers. A hand made vessel can hold flowers but it also holds the story of its maker, what they bring to its creation. Their likes and dislikes as well as their personal history, blood memory. Thoughts and emotions that they themselves may not truly know exist.
Objects contain many associative meanings that we attach, rendering them as ledgers, documents of time and emotion. Triggering visual cues and faded scents. Nostalgia. Archeologists are constantly digging up storied histories that have their own meaning and meanings we eventually attach.
Our bodies are vessels as well, containing our past and the past before it. Perhaps this is our connection to objects. Our need to make real the memories and emotions we carry within. Our desire to covet what we can no longer hold. What has slipped beneath the surface of time, abstracting and morphing into shadow. No longer available to our touch.
We surround ourselves with stories by way of the physical world. They are our comfort. Our securities in these troubled times. They represent so much more than what they truly are. Our selves. Our Inner storied landscape.

There is a common thread that binds together art, design and space for me. It is emotion. My exploration into who we are, where we are and where we're going. It is the thread of life and my need to question. To inspire and be inspired.
This is my authentic self and belief system. My mental and emotional compass that guides. The building blocks of all that I have become, all that I have erased and all that is to come. This is my manifesto. My map.
I believe how we live can inspire our future. That creativity can spur change and that space has emotion enough to uplift and move the mind as it moves the body. I believe this as fact, as tool of trade. Arsenal in the good fight.

How we live is how we think and vice versa.
This is what vacillates our movement forward. What inspires change. It is not theory but fact. As throwing stones. Mind over matter, future forward action and Inspiration. It is the bud of a flower, expanding.
To create the future positive we must build the foundation now and be inspired by its patterned work, its complex beauty. We must allow ourselves to be inspired by each moment as makers of dreams. As doers.
We must then, create the beauty we wish to see. The change we wish to be.

It is creativity that will save us as our morality is flawed. We are human after all. Perfectly imperfect. Our focus should be more on new ideas. Ones that elevate our lives, fills the cracks and eases our weariness. Rather than designing walls, we should be designing new democracies. Better ways of living. More possibilities, as yes is more.
