The Palette Edition 6
An Online Community Journal
Recently I have noticed a general feeling of blankness in my creative drive and have spoken to friends experiencing that same problem. It's as if someone has taken the drive out of last year's potency and put in a great big plug that has stopped the water of creativity from flowing...everything seems bland and uninspiring. And yet it occurred to me that instead of seeing this a negative state of being from which one has to extricate oneself like some poor unfortunate trying wildly to pull themselves out of a mire of quicksand, that we should celebrate this lull and allow it to be our blank canvas from which to spring our new emerging forms. Instead of fighting it and pushing ahead..why not allow the feeling to completely wash over us? Why not celebrate the vacuum of potentiality? Far from being a place of desolation, this state of blankness and void is actually a creative oasis of things to be...the Alpha and Omega of our creativity.
This issue is a celebration of that blank canvas...an ode to all those artists out there who find themselves in a similar situation.
