a dreamer's night talks - episode 09 - on flowers and ideas
Tonight I dive into my creative process. As I am sitting in the middle of my living room, surrounded by all my art supplies: paper, paints, ink, books… I start by telling you about my "flowers of the revolution" which were seeds distributed at weekly protests in the former mining area in Northern France, and I brought back to my home in Amsterdam where they bloom today! Seeds are ideas, and they need time to grow. Flowers, ideas… process and taking the time…
What brings it all together for me these days, is my new passion for doing image transfers, which I also tell you about.
The book I mention is by artist Courtney Cerruti: Playing with Image Transfers (Quarry Books, 2013)
and this is Courtney's online class on Creative Bug: https://www.creativebug.com/classseries/single/image-transfers?
