My Creative Work

Becoming visible is exciting, and a little bit scary. Like many other creative people, especially expressive arts practitioners, who may work with a wide range of modalities – “Jack of all trades, master of none” – I don’t usually describe myself as an artist. I am an improviser, and I am keenly aware of how often things don’t end up the way they are “planned.” I have learned to be comfortable moving into the Unknown, which in reality is where new creations are born. As Friedrich Nietzsche noted, “One must still have chaos in oneself to be able to give birth to a dancing star.”

Three Creative Paths

Expressive Arts & Play

Expressive arts includes all creative modalities that you can think of : visual arts, clay, music, gingerbread, sand play, pipe cleaners, fabric or yarn, storytelling, drama, movement, etc.

Labyrinth

A labyrinth is a single winding path used to guild walking meditation, as it leads you from the outer edge to the centre on a circuitous path.

Writing Through It All

Joan Didion said, “I don’t know what I think until I write.” For me, writing is much more about process than product, it is a way of thinking and working through everything.
