A clent of mine comments that when she watches me work, she is startled by what she perceives is the bravery of the way i work. I never thought about that before. I simply do what I feel called to do, or what feels right, in the next moment. With collage making in particular, I don’t think or wait, I just act. I rip and tear without thought. Creating seems to be so much a body, instinctual process. Thinking is not as important as letting one’s sensations and visual imagination be the guides. Trusting one’s instincts, or even completely letting go of known territory is what seems to be called for when creating.
