Creativity In Motion

Art is not an object, it's alive in ​our ​experience and process.

statement
'Creativity in Motion' is a study of the artist and her process.  Layered films which combine sound, poetry and imagery and performance make up the body of this series which embraces 'the process' as the artwork. As well as the potential for further responses and developments when the work is shown. Working in digital media in this way enables me to draw together the 'flat works' and 'dynamic lived works' into one experience.

Zeitgeist Non Grata emerged from my personal exploration and collective dialogue with artists as part of The Laboratory of Dissent 2019.
Observe 'Creativity in Motion' on Instagram
'Creativity In Motion' is a process-based exploration of "making art my everyday" which articulates itself through films, live-art and workshops.

Each artwork in the collection is a glimpse of the creative river. Like a river's moods at dawn, noon, and sunset, or its trickle during drought and its torrent after a storm, each artwork can be seen to express one part of a larger process. 

​I am interested in expressing not just the mood, but also the rhythms, cycles, and processes evident in creative happenings, and articulations.
