NOURISH And The Creative Endeavor

“Beauty is a salve, creativity its vehicle.”

Beauty is a salve, creativity its vehicle. Through NOURISH I explore what the creative endeavor does, reflecting who we are, the perfectly imperfect. It is through the creative mind we resolve, ease and inspire.

“The world is troubled because we are troubled, the Earth is ill because we are.”

The hand created reflects who we are: body, mind, emotion, and energy. What binds us as humans, the complexities of beauty.

NOURISH is a concept of creativity and support. Living fully, through the creative mind: resolve, inspiration and beauty. To do better, to be better, to try. The world is troubled because we are troubled, the Earth is ill because we are. This is why we create and collect, to give purpose, meaning, and ease to our living, and our ways of being human.

Through the creative endeavor we thrive. A little lighter. A little easier.

 


Connection. Why We Create And Collect.

“This is why we create and collect, making physical the ephemeral. Giving weight to emotion, and the transience of being human.”



There is a connection between our inner world and our outer world: beauty within, beauty without. This is why we create and collect, making physical the ephemeral. Giving weight to emotion, and the transience of being human.

The world is troubled because we are troubled. The Earth is ill because we are. In contrast, the world is beautiful, as we are beautiful. Two realities that co-exist in equanimity. What we think, we see more of, what we do, we get. The creative endeavor is a mirror, window, and door to who we are and what the world can be, and is. If we can destroy through the creative mind, we can create, better.

“For the sake of the ego, we sometimes create what does not fully serve us as humans.”

Since the onset of the industrial revolution, we have lost our connection to the Earth, wonder, and magic. And with the advent of AI and VR, this disconnection is increasing. We are widening the gap between who we are, where we are, and each other. For the sake of the ego, we sometimes create what does not fully serve us as humans. The creative mind can be a tool for change, both negative and positive depending on where the ego lies.

It is through the hand created that we connect to others and ourselves, shining light and easing our passage onward.

“Beauty is a reflection of who we are, and what we can achieve.”

 
 

The Light Of Beauty And The Creative Endeavor

“It is no stretch of the imagination that we are creative beings, drawn to beauty.”

Through the creative mind, we find resolve. Through beauty, we are illuminated and life is eased. This is what the creative endeavor does, shines a light on who we are and where we need to go. It is no stretch of the imagination that we are creative beings, drawn to beauty.

“We are creative beings, capable of destruction and the vastness of beauty.”

Beauty and the creative endeavor illuminate who we are, inspire wonder, and bring joy and salve to our ways of being human: perfectly imperfect. The future is predicated on what we build today, through imagination and will. We are creative beings, capable of destruction and the vastness of beauty. Capable of great things of everlasting and fluid direction. We can learn from our past, and learn from our mistakes, as we learn from others.

Concrete Poetics

NOURISH Gallery | Kathryn Robinson-Millen

It is not that we do not see what’s in front of us, it’s that we underestimate our creative and willful capacity for change.  To create beauty is to see who we are and then turn the mirror forward, shining a light that leads the way. Within the creative mind is opportunity, giving clarity to the possible through action and the will to thrive, the will to try, fail and try again. This is our intuitive way of being human, tucked deep beneath our inherited social doctrines. We are made of energy, born from the stars and the vastness of possibility.

“We are creators and collectors, living our lives, building our futures, and correcting our wrongs.”




 

The Reflection Of Beauty

“When we are mindful, we know what brings us joy and expand upon it, smoothing our passing forward.”

Beauty in its broadest meaning has depth. A reflection of who we are and how we live: perfectly imperfect, passionately human, willfully determined.



Our ways of living are intuitive, brought from the gut and our traditions of history. When we are mindful, we know what brings us joy and expand upon it, smoothing our passing forward.



Life is difficult, our time here, finite, to create change and beauty as life allows builds lasting results for generations to come.

“In beauty and in life, there is a complex simplicity, a calm and a chaos.”
