Locating the artistic impulse

This work considered the artistic impulse and how it aids us in locating ourselves in the world—rooting into our senses. Over three days, I facilitated a creative inquiry that dug into our disconnect from the natural world and immediate surroundings, challenging patterns that split us from our bodies in favor of our heads. Instead we developed and defined a sense of place that was rooted in sensory experience through artistic modes of mark making, engaging, expressing, and extending the world. Through locating ourselves, we navigated the shifting border of inner and outer, self and environment, developing an expanded conception of art practice that permeates everyday life.
