Connections - November 21, 2009
I've been blessed by opportunities throughout my career, sometimes for projects, but more often to do with people. You see I'm rather fond of people, so much so that it's they who inspire my work, not so much beautiful sunsets and picturesque scenery. To me, it's all about the human experience.
So when i make connections with people, i take notice. And when those connections lead to opportunities to create and share a journey, it becomes an important part of my own growth, which in turn validates my artistic output.
It's pretty rare for me to make deep creative connections that i feel reach beyond my own capacity to understand, so i take them as being very precious. I value them in a way that's very different from my own personal value of my creativity, for these things are extensions outside of myself that then lead on to more in a self perpetuating cycle of the shared experience, the purpose, one could argue, to life itself.
