My friend, Yvonne, who is a writer, asked me to do a project with her in order to support each other in our creative process. For this project, she is going to write a poem a day and I am going to make a drawing a day. At the end of the month we are going to share our work and discuss what has happened for each of us individually and then see if there is any kind of connection between our work.
We started this a week ago and it has been great for me. Firstly, it is wonderful to just have the commitment to draw everyday and create that consistency in my life. Secondly, whenever I start to draw my mind opens up and I find myself solving problems and moving forward on many other projects and practical situations in my life that have been a bit stagnant. That has been a surprise to me and so have the images I have been drawing.
In the process of not thinking, my thinking flows. This is my first week of drawings and flow.
