Inputs
The Call: Coiled Hose — Jessica
I’m not sure what inspired me to choose inputs. I think it may have been from Twyla Tharp’s book (I was devouring it while creating the list of calls so it heavily influenced my word choices). But the idea of inputs is an interesting thing. It makes me think of “GIGO” — garbage in, garbage out.
What kind of inputs are we using in our creative lives? Does it make a difference in our output? Certainly! I try to make sure that I follow a wide variety of characters on sites like instagram and flickr…the more diverse and varied are the images I see, the more I have to inspire and push me.
Response: Three Monkeys — Cheryl
This house is filled with inputs, which in and of itself, is not a bad thing. When it feels like you can’t find five minutes to string together a coherent thought and act on it, though, all of those inputs coming at you (kids, noise, phone calls, interruptions) can feel rather burdensome.
I agree about broadening our horizons, Jessica. Nothing stirs up my creative juices better than seeing what someone else has done with theirs.
