[a blank canvas] comment

Sometimes saying nothing says everything. Less is more. Please ignore the cliches, I don't care. Sometimes you have to do nothing before you can do anything. You have to embrace the reality of emptiness before you can appreciate the beauty of creativity. In my art, it all starts with a blank canvas. A technique I often go back to when I need to reset my thought process and start again. A blank canvas really clarifies things for me when my art looses direction.

[moment reason purpose] comment

Life is built upon by a series of moments. What were you doing the moment before reading this? How about 4 moments ago? But why and how do we decide what happens from one moment to the next? What kind of moments do you prefer? And for what purpose? What drives us as humans? These questions burn at the back of my brain constantly. I seek short periods of time where I can enjoy my being here. I have a balanced collection of experiences. Can a small moment in time change things in the bigger scheme of things? I takes moments, and I take each day as it comes. I enjoy the 'now'. After reading this, take the next moment to really consider the 'now'. What are you thinking? What are you planning to do next? Really experience it. Identify the moment, discover its reason... and ultimately its purpose for existing.

It can be a confusing and intricate process, recognising the past. To move forward... do we actually need to commit time to the past? Is there any point in that? Surely what's done is done, and it's what comes next that is important. Or do we learn from our mistakes? Am I over-thinking this? This image came from my sub-conscience. I often find it challenging when it comes to the 'past/future' debate. I like looking back and exploring what happened. I also like looking forward and the excitement of what tomorrow will bring. I think the two need to work in unison... learn from the past so we can build a better future. But let's not dwell or live in the past... no. That would be bad. Recognise it, enjoy it, think it over... then move forward with a sense of purpose. Fire those brain cells and embrace time in a collective sense.
