An aspect of this project is simply 'what can the arts offer the sciences' and I often hear how relaxing creativity is for people. Would you be surprised to hear that for artists creativity can be anything but relaxing? It is challenging and full of uncertainties, full of questions.
It is also an intense space away from the world and this is what attracts people to this idea of it being calming. The space that the mind goes to when absorbed in creating anything is away from the mundane and the base things of life. You are for a time lifted up, in brief you must rise into your creative self. To do this you must let go the worst part of yourself and this is what it has to offer everyone.
( the image above shows a new piece of work concerning conceptual spaces in the body. The stitches are bullion stitches, they make no sense when you do them, they exist in uncertainty until the last moment, but they work nonetheless!)
