The creative mind digs deep the terrain of the self, pulling at weeds and roots. Breaking stones for light to come in. It is through the creative endeavor that the self is heard, questioning as it is answering, by way of beauty, mark-making, and sound.
This excavation, this mining of the self, is post Industrial Revolution effect, digging, sifting and filling back in. Defining and discovering who we are, through material, making and storytelling. By filling in, we regrow, the roots that bind who we are. This is history, and present making, qualifying the new now, and the next. To define and discover who we are, we dig and fill in, by way of the creative mind, by way of beauty.
