DiscussionGetting inspired to do art again... how do you do it?
I used to be quite the artist. Then a year ago I injured my hand and spent months in PT. After healing I turned to crochet but now that it's summer where I am I'm not in the mood to touch yarns as much with my sweaty hands.
I'm not depressed, I actually feel like I'm doing better than i've done in a while mentally. But I am having a hard time getting back into the idea of making art. I think it's just current events occupying my mind. I can't get away from the speed of the world to even hear my own inner artistic voice.
What kickstarts your creative process? How do you return?
A lot of people are using this time to make art as activism, which is intriguing to me, but I don't want to add to the "woke infographics" flood. If you do art as activism tell me what informs the authenticity of your work.
