REGARDING CREATIVITY






 Creativity requires that we be engaged in our world, remaining open and sensitive to our environment.  For it is here, in our world (the interior world of our imagination and the external world around us), regardless of how restrictive it may be, that the encounter occurs.  The nature of the response to the encounter is closely related to the nature of the being.  The intensity and commitment to this encounter varies, and is capable of being nurtured and developed. It is the artist’s responsibility to embrace and nurture these encounters.


Creativity is bathed in tension arising from the dichotomy between the subject and the object as well as the self-doubts, anxieties, and limits of the artist.
