What Do You Have To Say? - Arts & Crafts: My Inspiration
My inspiration for my arts and crafts is what i'd like to call "My name is Nubia and I'm over-analytical. Yes, it is a disease, thank you." Marcel Proust once advised that you should look further into an object beyond the "normal" or social label. For example, there is a tree. You know it's called a tree but really what is a tree? It has branches, leaves, bark, curves, crisp leaves, a whole ecosystem inside of it. But, most of us just go by day by day just looking it as just that-- a one-dimensional tree. A word to those that suffer from writer's block: It's probably the best thing that has happened to you; step back from your work, look around and start really seeing your environment. For me, I like going to a park and admiring nature, buildings and the people that walk by. Their lines, their lives, their interactions and their interconnectivity brings life to my being, and that feeling of appreciation I transpass to my "art". Call me life's number one fan, call me ishmael. :)
