SOME WORDS:
SOME WORKINGS OF THE CREATIVE ENGINE
i find myself searching for new methods "or atleast new to me" of processing all the muses that pour into my daily life....what to do with them and most of all figuring out a way to stop them and seal a moment or idea in a stasis....long enough to be able to convey to a form that I and the world can see...whether it be a drawing,sculpture,writing or an idea etched in my long term memory...nothing ever works perfectly but if this was a world where perfection of any kind can be achieved then there would be no need for art i think...but the journey itself makes it all well worth the effort....sometimes i feel that the only thing im taming in this process is my will..yet my mind just gets more and more wild....my will being the force that grabs some feeling or idea and my mind fighting it all the way...eating bits and pieces of it away the longer i try to hold it...till its in a form hardly resembling the form it once was in its natural state in the normal flow of thought...then taking that form i was able to salvage and coating it with things i feel need to be added to make it be able to exist independently...but i know "atleast in my own mind" that what i just created has some trace of the original physic matter i was able to capture from my mind in it....and that is what powers it....after i finish something it doesn't stop growing there....this projection starts to develop its own ideas and ways of existing....of course this is all in my head but the better i get at figuring out what iconic shapes do what to me the more i think im making a blueprint of something my mind wants to exist...it is not what you see..it is what your mind creates when it receives stimulus...most ideas and feelings can only truly be manifested in a multitude of layers...and the layers can go on forever...like life on earth and evolution....there is no end to it...and no start....just a flow of energy that has always existed pulling it along...headed to god knows where....
