Viewing single post of blog Cultural Fusion

Not too long ago someone asked me to imagine it was five years in the future and I was being asked to tell my story of how we exceeded our goals with Cutlural Fusion. Initially, I had thought to point to one piece, but recently it has occured to me that actually one would have to view the major pieces of this series because that is where the story is.

The most recent work in progress reminds of those pieces that challenge our aesthetic quest because sometimes the work is about the inability to find the beauty in a situation…or perhaps when it can be glimpsed or touched it is after reach out or inwards through the distance from where we reside physically.

This has helped to illuminate and provide more clarity to the developement of my SoulFood framework.

Starting with the insights from Source:Acceptance

Through this approach one finds balance and peace…

And then the creative well spring is replenished to develop new solutions….it becomes clear how the pieces fit together.

How does this relate to my interest in business solutions and organizaitonal strategy?

It has helped me to see how seemingly disjointed pieces actually can fit together quite nicely in their own way….it reminds me a bit like what one gets from workign with found objects as I have done a bit in this most recent piece. (Actually the last several as they were done on scrap wood I stumbed upon more than a year before I did the pieces on them)

With found ojects especially, I feel one discovers new relationships between unrelated objects and sometimes ideas and feelings. I guess we could call this relationships of contrast.

Through my own relationship to place I discovered home is not the same as place of origin. tely connected to my work on economic development and social capital in CRM Strategy.

The line of inquiry that led to this insight is initmaocial capital.

At the same time that this has evloved so has the fictional story I’m writing to explain the "Shifting Reality"
