What is this?
This is a prompt to inspire creative work. Use it for writing, visual art, dance, music, any creative work. The current prompt is 'Seen/Hidden." It also a great way to discover new artists and creative work and to just enjoy it. The idea of being hidden/seen was one I explored many years ago as “Signal/Camouflage” when I was teaching middle school while in a lesbian relationship, right after Prop 8 passed. I was out everywhere but at work. I was an artist exploring sexuality through my art and it was scary. I wanted to be seen and known but that felt dangerous in a slightly conservative community. That was when I assumed my artist name in order to protect my livelihood and my artist soul. I invite you to explore this idea - there are many directions it could go. I want to use it for my own work but I'm not sure how to get started Here are some great ways to get ideas rolling
And then what? What comes next depends on your creative process. You might come up with an idea for an artwork you want to make, or you can use the prompt as creative calisthenics and let whatever you find and discover descend into your subconscious where it might come back up intuitively in a later work. I Made a Thing! Yay! We wanna see it! Post a link to it below or share in the "Women Artist to Know" Facebook group. If you feel shy, you can email me :)
