Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B
Join Carolyn B as she goes beneath the surface with local Creative Professionals on their practice, inspiration, and perspectives. Carolyn pulls you underneath the fabric of their creativity, where we discover how their genius of communicating in the Arts transforms, and translates into spectacular reality. What does their medium say about them?
What do they think of originality? Authenticity? In what moment of their creativity does their true passion sit? Is it in the imagination stage? Conceptualization? Or the Gallery or Stage? What are their feelings on Abstraction? Realism? Where are they seeing their career taking them in the next ten years? Do they have any political or social agendas with their Art?
Currently we are working on the Second Season where we go further into how Creative Professionals are incorporating their practice into mainstream society. How is their understanding of and practice pushing boundaries and developing their skills? How does the business side of being an Artist change being an Artist? Second season has been launched, take a peak!
If you know of anyone who would like to have an interview on their creative practice send me an email at: creativelythinking.blog@gmail.com. This is the best compliment you can give us, and keeps the creative discussion moving and growing. Changing and influencing others to share and propel inspiration forward.
Creatively Thinking With Carolyn B
Episode 1: My Fascination With Dali
I discovered this genius in high school, or was it somewhere in the collective consciousness that I saw his melting clocks? I’m not certain, but I know when I found this eclectically strange human with his peculiar moustache, his Spanish background, I was hooked. At the time I was getting into the band The Doors, and Aldous Huxley’s Doors of Perception, Brave New World, and The Perennial Philosophy.
It was an electric time of innovation and industry that was buzzing and thriving with creativity during a very traumatic political period. Let’s take a deep dive on these Artists and what was so radical a century ago, It was a period of time that was chaotic, progressive, and downright controversial. With an active movement of imagination becoming a source of spiritual renewal. There were veins of international networks exploring poetry, writing, philosophy, politics, and social change brought about by the rapid urbanization, and advancements in science and technology.
There was a fever frenzy pace that was happening simultaneously and independently. A concentration of fertile energetic ideas that challenged the establishment. There was an urgency that hadn’t been seen before. An almost neurotic romanticism during this time, it was dynamic, and even a little bit sexy. How multiple cultures, countries and climates were collectively collaborating, composing, and creating. They were pushing the envelope, challenging the critics, causing riots, and even shocking the bourgeois aesthetic – Duchamp’s Urinal readymade placed nonchalantly inside the gallery signed R. Mutt.
