Therapy

Being a little on the broke side lately I have found that being poor is a great experiment in creativity. I love how my work will change if I'm forced to work with what I've got. You would think that being able to get out and buy new supplies and make whatever you want would open up the opportunity to do really interesting work. Maybe it does for some people? I have found lately and many times in the past when I'm feeling the urge to create but I'm looking at a few scraps of material, some paint and an empty wallet that the work that emerges is usually different from my other work....sometimes that's great and sometimes not so great but at least it pushes me to look at things a little differently and that always feels good to me.
