Creativity is the act of recreating, reversing, repurposing, reimagining, redirecting, redesigning. Its genesis is an awareness of the past, influenced by the present and focused on the future.
At the heart of creativity is the belief in the power of the story, the image, the music to transform, to develop understanding and to be understood.

Creativity begins as a conversation the artist has within himself. He asks the hard questions of himself in order to create. When he has created he is able to share it with the audience and promote, precipitate or provoke a conversation.
Protect your creative space and keep it sacred. Location is not important; be it your desk, the romping room table, the lounge room floor, under a tree, in the library, your favourite spot on the couch. Protect your space, keep it sacred and create good art.

Post It Note Philosophy on Creativity – Day 4
Creativity is an attempt to understand what it is we fear; what is external and internal to our world. We fear what we could become; we fear what we may not become.

Marvel at the acts of creation when you look at the diversity of human faces, the complexity of design at the microscopic level and the breadth of the cosmos. Creation exists for pleasure and for the expression of beauty in all its difference and divergence. Therefore, create useless beauty; something that is simply meant to be enjoyed.
