creativity is nothing 🕳〰️
〰️creativity is nothing🕳
writing and drawing and thinking about writing and drawing so maybe that isn't writing or drawing or even creativity. maybe it is nothing.
Hi friends! How are you doing? Feeling feelings feels more and more tricky each day but I also think creativity is a way to process these things. Drawing and writing feel like the only things within my capacity the last week or so. The balance between these things as a salve and these things being work is the weird blurry line of being an artist that we all ride. How you are coping? What are your strategies?
On the other side of creativity isn't always a thing. Sometimes there isn't a song to write or a painting to paint or a play to craft. The other side of creativity isn't production or capitalism or a tangible thing to digest. I don't think there is always another side of creativity. It is a process and a tool and an opportunity in life to feel, or maybe not feel, which maybe in its self is a feeling.
I am so happy if you've taken up a new craft, or started baking bread. But I am so happy if you've watched lots of Netflix or stared at your leg or your dog or your wall. I watched a three-hour taping of les mis and yelled/sang at my tv. We are coping together.
I did want to share one actionable/tangible resource with you. My sweet friend and really incredible naturopathic doctor Dr. Emily Bennet has created a group called SHAMELESS, resources for uncertain times. I'm in there feeling all the feels and I'd love to feel fells with yah, yah? yah.
I love you,
