Headspace during lockdown
This week I have been thinking about headspace. To think creatively. To be inspired to undertake research. To make sense of early ideas in rushed handwriting. All these ties into conversations I had with artists and curators about a project I’m working on. And how strange it felt to have headspace to think creatively. Suddenly, I had an urge to write out my initial ideas. Meaning, I had to find my felt tips.
One evening, I ended up penning all my thoughts onto paper and it was refreshing to do this away from a screen. During this process, I remembered how fun it was to figure out your idea. And even when the idea is slightly unclear and lacks direction, headspace to think will make it grow.
I’m not sure if (or how) your creativity or thinking has also changed because of everything that’s going on right now. But I hope this short piece reminds you that small moments can go onto spark creativity. Especially when we need it most.
