Do you need a change of trajectory?
The red shapes on this page made me think about a bouncing ball. When we drop a bouncy ball straight down, it will bounce straight back up again unless there is something on the floor that causes it not to be flat. If the floor isn't flat, the ball will bounce off at a different angle, not returning to your hand.
It is easy for us to keep following the same path, backwards and forwards. If we want to change trajectory, we need to interact with something new.
As an aside, I love the way Alice Sheridan explains our artistic journey. Rather than a wavy line going up and down, she sees it as a simple drawing of a flower. If we think of the circle in the middle as our centre, we travel out from ourselves to new things, and then come back to our centre, bringing the new things we've learned, making the petals. A much nicer way to think of it rather than peaks and troughs.
Both the page and your comments really speak to me, Tracy...the last couple of years have been so much the same, that thinking of a different trajectory feels quite magical to me! Here's to unexpected movement!!
ReplyDeleteThis pandemic has affected such a lot and it has felt like spinning our wheels for the last couple of years. Can't wait to see what new directions you go in.
