“The opportunity to be in a new environment that is surrounded by the fecundity of nature and diverse processes of other residents always allows me as an artist to myelinate different pathways in my brain/body and gain a new perspective on creative projects and inquiries. This resetting, reviewing, and renewing of my pathways helps to start fresh and give freedom from the well worn grooves of entrenched habit. Projects find new life. Anxiety about budgets and deadlines falls to the periphery. A deep source of interest and excitement is rewired as the source of energy that fuels the development as opposed to the frenetic pace that exists within the usual urban creative calendar.”
