I loved this, Duane! Maybe we spend too much time trying to understand creativity and our time would be better spent giving ourselves over to our creative impulses and playing our way to creation instead of trying to think our way there. Your collages spark something inside of me!
So interesting, that why question, why particular things strike us in a way that excites us, inspires us, makes us want to respond, create. I don't understand why the colors blue and gold excite me. Why I'm drawn to them in others or my own work. Why textures excite me in nature and art, why I'm drawn to them. But I do like to explore why that is. I feel there's something deep and significant going on that draws me there, about me personally, but more importantly, and fascinating, about life itself on that grand, cosmic, spiritual level. Something about the universe and those fractal similarities that seem to underlie everything. I think art and nature and our response to them is part of that fractal echoing. I don't understand it, but it speaks to me. And I respond.
I share that vision about your creative process. In some poetry workshop we said that the poem must defend itself. I think the same perspective can be applied to any type of art.

I love the texture here. I’m wanting more. More of it, more thoughts on it, more response to it. Thank you for sharing!
It’s the ultimate act of freedom.

This is so beautiful!
