a few questions related to how we access and shape a visual imagination:

- Do we work from a place of expansive possibility or from rules, regulations and someone else’s recipe for predictable outcomes?

- Can we look at our work and feel opportunity, and then take it where it wants to go even if we don’t have the map?

- How do we engage in the kind of play that allows us to see what we’re doing and ourselves, differently?

PLAY is where we encounter ourselves and even meet a self we might not even know is there, or one whom we are keeping in the closet. Authentic play is driven by an unfettered imagination not concerned with right or wrong, where inside and outside meet.

An imagination involves not only how we bring our gaze to the world before our eyes but also to our work, and they are both interconnected. How we move from here to there, from one moment to the next has everything to do with how we root ourselves in the saturation of the  moment right now. A big question is, are we really present or are we somewhere else?
