(MS) Sources of Imagination
“Creativity is just connecting things.” — Steve Jobs
Creating digital collages is one of my personal favorite forms of art making. While these creations may not be gallery standard, they are my creations and they hold value to me.
This one presented to all of you I call: Sources of Imagination.
A few years back, I was trapped in my cubical prison cell wondering where creativity comes from. Contemplating on this with my Intuition, we decided that there can not be one source, method, or place of birth from where creativity is from.
Instead, we decided that creativity is a formless energy mixture of multiple imaginative and inspirational pieces swirling around until a source of direction can be discerned. Further, that creativity is a tool to be used broadly (daydreaming) or more centrally (concentrating deeply to solve a specific problem).
Wanting to take this broadly complicated set of opinions and place them into collage resulted in Sources of Imagination being born. Creativity is chaos, and in this collage you can see that represented by how there is no direct start or stop, point of direction, or even a connection amongst the pieces associated with their various neighbors. Instead, it is expressing that imagination is boundless and various.
I hope you all enjoy this collage; I sure did in making it. I love seeing it and being reminded of its purpose where it is now framed above my work-for-food job’s desk reminding me of the importance of creativity while my prison-job attempts to rob me of this connection.
Be well, my friends.

If this collage connects with you, feel free to save it, print it, and use it for your own. Or, maybe it has motivated you to create your own discipline-themed collage; all the better.
