Notes by Yvonne Perez-Collins
|
|
|
|
Meet the critical voices on the page. Have no agenda, make honest expressions. Be fully engaged.
|
|
|
|
Use unremarkable, very ordinary tools. Relax into yourselves. Trust to know what you need to know. Play, don’t worry about “doing it right”. Things are waiting backstage to dance on the page.
|
|
|
Experiment, explore, play, let go of pre-conceived notions of what things are and let them become something else. Send your critical voice to the beach today and just play. Every page is an invitation to experiment.

Your journal: A safe place to go. Safe haven, a retreat, sacred space. Not poetry, but poetic. Conscious invites the unconscious to create meditatively. Improvisational. Maintain attitude of detachment of end results.
|
|
|
|
Only when an artist doesn’t know what she’s doing, does she begin to do good things. Let that part of you out—act out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|
When you give up in the middle of a piece, surrender in art. When you think you are at the point of no return, things start to happen in the unknown when you step away from it. Be courageous, relax. Trust.
