next set from joshua tree
Added 2023-12-13 16:12:17 +0000 UTChere are some of my newest edits from my trip to #california last month, specifically #joshuatree #pioneertown .... I was working on a 'multiplicity of selves' piece from this set for my graduate school applications (messy version pictured here).... more to come. Thank you all so much for your support. I was reading some more from the #rickrubin book 'the #creative act: a way of being" this morning... feeling so inspired.... here are some of his words from his chapter on #intention -- "Our thoughts, feelings, processes, and unconscious beliefs have an energy that is hidden in the work. This unseen, unmeasurable force gives each piece its #magnetism . A completed project is only made up of our intention and our #experiments around it.... It is a truth that lives inside you. Through your living it, that #truth becomes embedded in the work. If the work doesn't represent who you are and what you're living, how can it hold and #energetic charge?
An #intention is more than a #conscious purpose, it is the congruence of that purpose. It requires an #alignment of all aspects of one's self. Of conscious #thought and #unconscious beliefs, of capabilities and commitment, of actions when working and not. It's a state of living in #harmonic agreement with oneself.
... a reflection of the #energy transfer from the artist's being, including the entire history of their experiences, thoughts, and apprehensions.... The #creative energy exists in the #journey to the making, not in the act of constructing.
Our work embodies a #higherpurpose . Whether we know it or not, we're a conduit for the #universe . Material is allowed through us. If we are a clear channel, our intention reflects the intention of the #cosmos ..."
