A bicycle full of flowers is a pretty ineffective form of transportation. On the other hand, if you insist on filling your bicycle baskets with groceries you will have no room for flowers.
How have you given an item new life by reimagining its purpose? How have you given yourself new life by reimagining your purpose?
A two part question, eh? Turning a thing into another purpose is always fun; I find that by random I do this; bringing in a branch of dried leaves and using it as a part of a piece in which there are stuck various objects, usually natural, becomes an intriguing bouquet. Myself? Recently, I have begun defining myself, not as an artist, which has been much of my career training, but as a “social developer”, perhaps because of so many things in the world to attend to and hopefully solve. I would really like to combine the two but so far artistic expression of social action content has not inspired me. Oh, how I wish that muse would come to visit me!
