Imagined Realities: the world of a creation
The world of a creation is one of its own. Its own beginning, journey and story — indelible and irreplaceable. Whether realistic, figurative, non-figurative or abstract in nature, the world of the work is crafted by the Creator, expressed through the medium and experienced on two realms — the effect for the Creator and the effect for the audience(s).
To create, is imagination a must? Well, imagination is the underlying tool that a Creator taps into while creating the world of a work. Immersed in creation, Creator’s imagination ignites an uninhibited process and organic formation of the work with its own characteristic creative journey. It provides space to freely explore, experiment and capture a plethora of possibilities for a Creator.
Spanish Artist Pablo Picasso once said “Everything you can imagine is real.”
Imagination is a default setting for an Artist — It not only offers the privilege to the Creator to choreograph their own reality, but also facilitates audience(s) to experience that reality.
The ‘imaginary’ is thus produced in ‘reality’. What is imagined is what is real to a Creator.
We as Creators imagine, process, record, question, shape and produce our realities. Art making thus gives the Creator the privilege to manifest the ‘imagined’ into the ‘real’.
