It is a well known and documented fact that breakfast is essential for a good start to one's day. I have to say this is true, especially for today as my inspiration came from my breakfast.....from a slice of bread to be precise. There I was sitting down with this warm piece of bread thinking "interesting texture" ....and it hit me. I had a new idea to put in a visual and tangible form.
Inspiration is interesting, it comes in various forms. The word inspiration refers to an unconscious burst of creativity, and is viewed as being beyond the control of a person. I have wondered where inspiration comes from, and was always worried that it would never come back. Ancient theories hypothesized that inspiration came from a state of ecstasy; or as a gift from the gods or from the Holy Spirit. Really and truly to the artist the essential thing is that inspiration just keeps coming.
Anyway one hour after, I'm at my studio engrossed in this new piece, rolling out slabs of various types of clay, giving them the desired shape and slowly building towards this idea in my head. Unfortunately I will not be able to divulge anything yet, however I look forward to showcasing this piece.
Inspiration in a slice of bread. What next?
