source

tuning in to what informs ideas

Source is defined as a place, person, or thing from which something comes or can be obtained. The technical definition is a body or process by which energy or a particular component enters a system. The electronics definition is a part of a field-effect transistor from which carriers flow into the inter-electrode channel

Source is many different things. And I think this is because source is everything.

To me, source is my content. It’s material. the wisdom. an idea.

It evolves into my subject, concepts, themes.

And to see source — to experience it in some way, I must tune in. I must offer awareness, attention. Have a language to describe it. Collect and process it. Work from a foundation, and trust my knowing. Otherwise, it remains in the ether, something to perhaps notice, but all in all pass by.

Reflections

  • Source is what I build ideas with. It informs.

  • Source doesn’t have to be one thing.

  • Source comes from the outside, and it’s through process, it becomes internal

This podcast is a body of work—a collection of words distilled from looking through my viewfinder. Each episode explores the meaning of different concepts, themes, ideas, and subjects floating around in the liminal spaces of my creative practice.
