How Sculptural Materials Became My Creative Partners And Transformed My Perspective On Art

ADVERTISEMENT

Sculptural materials are not a tool for illustrating ideas. They are active partners in the creative process. They shape the work's form and content, ideas, and possibilities. They also influence our thoughts and perceptions of art. It's no coincidence that we say "food for thought." I have written about how our tools shape us. The same is true of the materials we use and surround ourselves with. Both directly and through their use in creating metaphors and images for our thinking.

Urbanization and the shift to stone houses have changed perspective in spatial drawing. Our perspective is built on cubes. Borges talks about a different perspective in one of his stories. The perspective of nomads in the desert who measure and divide space in the time of camel strides. Each material creates a sculpture with a unique voice. From the strength of stone to the fleeting light, they invite viewers to rethink art and reality.

    "The Workshop - for Creative Processes". Center for Art and Psychological Therapy. Creativity is a central component of our mental health and sense of aliveness. We see creativity - in its broadest and deepest sense - as the center of our ability to cope with internal and external reality. "To be authentic" - writes Simone de Beauvoir - "means becoming creative and claiming ownership of who we are, of our self, shaped by our choices."

    Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
