However, I recall AG working with stone masons on some of his larger, more permenant works -- initially he wanted to lift and positions the stones, much to the dismay of the professionals. It's sometimes hard to let go and let others do what you direct them to do. But it also can be freeing to see your design develop in front of your eyes.<BR/><BR/>I'm delighted you see our collaboration as one of your exciting opportunities.EmandaJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03908128665226502895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4490137608042304935.post-65558214667026056032009-03-16T02:44:00.000-05:002009-03-16T02:44:00.000-05:00Firstly I count our collaboration as one of the ex...Firstly I count our collaboration as one of the exciting opportunities that has been coming my way. But does collaborating with others help the creative process? I have no idea and I wonder in my case whether it would. I am a bit of a control freak with my sculptures - and I fiddle until they are just so - I am not sure anyone would want to put up with me doing this! Also I find the creative process (these days now I am being more original) to be quite intuitive, with no pre-planning involved. This means I don't have an image in my head of what the final result will be until it is 3/4 of the way finished. So right up to this point I am changing things, trying something else and so on. Perhaps collaboration would help me focus better or perhaps it would derail creating intuitively. If my proposals to the Uni get accepted then I may have to learn very quickly how to work creatively as a team. Some of the larger sculptures I have in mind I will not be able to do on my own. I am sure I can do it, but having never attempted (or even really thought about) something like that, it is quite daunting! But exciting all the same.Richard Shillinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13986006611907624065noreply@blogger.com
