So, today is the aniversary of a friends death. She has been gone a year. She died suddenly last year of stomach cancer. The last time I heard from her was an e-mail to a discussion group where she said she'd be fine.
So what does this have to do with creativity? It is the flip side of my coin. I am always pushing the notion that creativity, atristry whatever needs no audience that artist should create for themselves and the joy of it. And here I am - I create Dance costumes for a living, and yes there is some joy in that.
BUT: The clothing I created with joy was worn by Casey. It was she who got me to submit clothing to Alternative Design in Cape Town, she took the stuff there herself! She encouraged me a lot.
