more street cleaning in mojacar

at the turning point of this short month at valparaiso – 13 days behind me, 12 days ahead. boredom often sets in at this halfway point, but i am not in danger of being overwhelmed by it. soon enough i will feel the waning of my last days here and with a sense of urgency often comes increased creative energy. i have become familiar with these patterns looping around – different players, different landscapes – but the cycles remain the same apart from their incarnations. i can trust in these seasons, knowing that soon enough i will be here again.

the project:
to live and work in various artist residencies around the world for at least one year, exploring differing cultures, landscapes and resources.

the proposal:
how does "place" impact the creative process? by living and working in a variety of cultures, and using mostly local materials and imagery, i look to capture the essence of the environment in the artwork that i do.

the hero's journey:
my long held interest in the archetype of the hero's journey, as explored by joseph campbell, in the context of the creative process, is the overarching structure of this project. considering each stage of the sacred journey, or pilgrimage, gives me courage and insight while continually pushing off from the shore into the unknown, both physically and creatively.
