This is my 'creativity statement' or 'artist statement'
Creativity Statement.
I create insanely great things that creatively express, enhance and explore our extraordinary human journey.
Creativity to me is the air that I breathe, it’s the blood that goes through my veins that keeps me alive. I don’t really know anything else. Creativity to me is life, It is that simple. Being creative and creating great things isn't a means to an end, being creative is the end!
I create for the sake of creating, writers, write, painters, paint. I am a creator and creators create. That’s just what I do. A creator takes inspiration from everything that happens in life, weather the sun shines or the rain pours, it is all an influence on the work created. If I don't sit down to create, that thing, that world or that emotion goes uncaptured. Perhaps it will visit again another day, perhaps not.
Creativity to me is a journey, an adventure, the best tool in which to express or explore life and ultimately yourself. Because ultimately creativity is about being honest, no matter how much you try and escape that, there is always some part of you invested in any project.
There is no magic to it. It’s sometimes a messy process, often without method, but it is never the tool you use or the technique that counts, it’s always and only about what you create with it and how you are able to express that. The job of a creator is simply to let it be born.
Too many people are caught up in dead end jobs, pay checks, TV shows and mini life drama's to notice or get evolved with the world outside of there self built enclosure or cage. It is through creativity and creating things that I feel more alive and I find that I’m more able to connect with and understand the world more fully. It is my voice. To me life is best enhanced, expressed and experienced by our creative and playful energies as human beings, that’s what makes us more fully alive.
I find great value and purpose with what I do. Growing, learning, expressing, playing, making people smile, creating things that make a difference to the world, that mean and matter to people, that inspire, creating things that are useful and practical, enhancing the life experience and entertaining people. Creating something in the world that didn't exist before I came and adding back to the human pool of experience.
So to me it is always the greatest privilege and honor to wake up and get to create something new and exciting each day.  |
