Creative process |
|
Since I create my art work visually and emotionally, I find it difficult to verbalize how the inspirations come for new and challenging pieces, how concepts are synthesized, and how ideas are brought to actual fruition. I am interested in finding something magical and other worldly when in the creative space. I start with a plan, a pattern, and drawings, all the while allowing for that magical “something else” to happen. That mystery. I can't describe what happens. Sometimes I cry. The experience of discovery and enlightenment is rich. It is the gift. It's humor. It’s God. The works are intensely time-consuming and detailed, but they satisfy an internal artistic drive to make unique, one-of-a-kind articles of beauty and meaning. With each piece I feel I must be challenged. I have to push the envelope constantly. Every new piece represents an opportunity for me to learn and to master something new. I want to go a step further every time. I consider each new piece an adventure to stimulate me to achieve my best; my best is accomplished if I have learned something new and if I feel satisfied that I have advanced my artistry and artistic expression by it. This is why I don't like duplicating any of my art works. Occasionally, I will accede if I am asked to do so, but that is not my primary objective in creating these pieces. Meryl Ruth
