I enjoy how you articulate how your mind works as you conceive and create your art. It's really fascinating. I really haven't thought about my own mind and how it functions as I'm conceiving/creating my art but your article has now got me thinking about thinking. Many years ago I would listen to music in the studio as I made my art but since I've been in this home with my studio, I don't listen to any music and prefer the silence or the 'noise' of my own thoughts whether intrusive or just flowing as I'm engineering the hows of attaching objects. I talk aloud sometimes, I'll cuss, cry, and even talk to the piece I'm working on. I feel music would be a distraction to me now as I prefer to listen to music doing other things or merely just listening.
Entering a flow state seems to tap into a kind of consciousness of possibilities.
So beautifully expressed. Thank you!
