| Inspired |
My inspiration comes from many fronts and often in such close succession that I have a hard time nailing down that which is "it."
Inspired reveals what could actually BE at the heart of my inspiration.
First there is process of sifting and sorting and gathering my "paper paint."
Next I BEgin looking for words or phrases.
So there are two definite sources of inspiration.
While NOT all the art I make has a purpose, a challenge frames purpose in a curious way. Until asked to share what inspires me, I doubt I would have put this particular painting together.
However...
What I learned from this is how much I am inspired by my process.
I think my process is less about completing and more about engaging, allowing, and inviting.
I am inspired by BEing an artist.
I am the only ME who ever has been or will ever BE.
This gives me loads of room to explore. To discover.
To DO a thing the way only I CAN.
I am inspired by THAT!!

This IS gorgeous Currie!!
it looks great and I like your idea that just the process is also inspiration because youre reminded that you're an artist.
You do amazing things with your paper paint, Currie! Love your take on inspiration and beautiful work, as always!

Visiting from APR!
I enlarged your collage to see all the "inspirational" words you have used. I can really see what you mean by letting the process lead you. I can picture you going through magazines and catalogues to instinctively pick out the "pieces" that resonate with you.
This is a great word collage. I love lettering and calligraphy, so I can relate to your source of inspiration. Blessings!
I love this! inspired by the process - this is akin to a flowering garden - art & creativity as an organic unfolding process wiht no preconceptions - nice!
