Touched my heart. During my grad degree in psychology, I focused a lot of my personal growth work on exploring the intergenerational trauma of the Jewish side of my family and the idea of creativity as a spiritual practice and those two came together for me in part through the idea of "creativity as vital to tikkun olam"
It's a whole 51 weeks to go with my grant year but I know already that looking more to creativity as spiritual practice and less as exhibition production is a big part of it. Always good to know I am treading a road previously walked!
Thank you for this, Helen. I think that, as creatives, the challenge we embrace as we work means that the results reflect a process, one that the viewer/reader is invited into and which then becomes part of their process. And our work often moves through the world in unexpected ways.
Helen- Thanks for sharing this piece and your insights and openness throughout. The reference to Paul Simon also helps. Hope you're well this week? Cheers, -Thalia
Well done for getting your grant
