On Creativity, On Art, On Writing.

On Creativity

"The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."

                                                                   (Sylvia Plath)


"the creative process is the emergence in action of a novel relational product, growing out of the uniqueness of the individual on one hand, and the materials, events, or circumstances of his life on the other."

                                       C.R.Rogers (1954) Towards A Theory of Creativity.

On Art

"An an artist I notice things and it's my job to give an adequate response"
                                                                                                             (Gustav Metzer)

"The role of the artist is to notice, the role of the art is to tell".
                                                                                            (Lawrence Weiner)


On Writing

"Everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise."


                                                                 (Sylvia Plath)
