An artist inhabits a No-man’s  Land where objects  are brought to life by the hand of the  maker. The shapes reflect and project.  Set in motion an image points to the  meaning  beyond the very shape, the isolated recognisable object. Is this figure standing or sitting? What is it telling?  Is this a true representation of seeing?

 

To clarify our intentions it would be most interesting to project them into the mirror…or the canvas and let them speak back to us… Colours can speak, so the forms… They describe our Intent or a State of Mind, while living in the world of their own…. Colour, emotions envelop our bodies metaphorically and literally. We are intuitive with colours. As children we did not have to learn which colour we want to choose, when, and how, and next to which one. Colours vibrate differently depending on how they are used and where they are placed. Can be saturated with light or dull, can be loud or subdued. There are no accidents when we poor the colours on the canvas or paper.

 

Our creative eye works much faster than a thought.. If the hand is not doing what the heart wants to see, we have not co-ordinated our intent with the heart, therefore not getting pleased with the results.  If we create from our centre we happily bypass so-called mistakes, awkwardness, incongruence, inauthenticity, luck of skill, kitsch, dullness, pathos…if we join with the Intent…we  create with the Open Eye within…

 

Acting out from the very centre of your essence is like drawing a bucket from the well. We have to have the courage to draw this bucket trusting that it’s going to produce crystal clear water.  We can see our own reflection in it… Likewise projecting ourselves onto the paper, we project our minds within a larger morphogenic field. We make and create NEW connections, new patterns, new energy fields. This is not a passive process.

 

The gift to create is our birth right. Creating from the core of our essence rather than from I Am Not Good enough perspective, is the kind of responsibility we have onto ourselves. This is what makes us authentic in our own eyes. Acting form the field of pure potentiality we find ourselves creating things that perhaps already been said and done,  by possible reversal of events. While staring at the empty canvas you may be tempted to sense the image has already been manifested at some point or reality, and your role is very much vested in silence capable of  retrieving it…So is the manifesting about passively watching the new world emerging, taking over…witnessing the truth of inner alchemy unfolding…

The images that emerge from the unspoilt waters of subconscious mind can also be seen as oscillating coherent thought forms suspended in the grid-like morphogenic field, (every form possesses one). This model of thinking represents holistic interpretation of the universe, and the unity consciousness. Please note we don’t exist as fragmented thoughts, as random, separate beings whose contributions may be of little consequence. In the view of this understanding, the images that flow out from your brush are most important contributions to the very fabric of the universe!! They are real, suspended in the morphogenic  ocean of thought forms…

 

The artistic technical ability may come hand in hand with refining your vision and personal style of expression…This is very important but it is  not a pre-requisite for the Authentic Creative Eye…You may find it a challenge to  re-assess your methods or a subject matter you’d need to concentrate on. What is the ultimate challenge however is about reaching to the most vulnerable part within yourself, re-experiencing the sense of wonder, creating magic within your own melting pot of visions, day and night dreams.

It is too easy for many of us to be picky and finding the shortcomings ideally designed to stall our progress.  If we persevere with our creative vision, we may find that skills we possess suffice to completely serve the purpose…The goal of our workshop is to encourage the pure vision of the Creative Inner Eye,  designed by the maker  to express the fleeting whispers of the heart..
