LONDON DESIGN WEEK | The Art of Water

What does creativity mean to you?

To me, creativity is an energetic life-force that dances between hard boundaries and endless possibilities. It rattles like a snake. Its form is created through the expansion and contraction of ideas and emotions. It’s something I feel somatically in my body, and a space I daydream within.

As a Designer, when I create spaces for others, I work in service. I channel my creativity towards their project and within the boundaries of the brief. As an Artist, my creativity is expressed quite differently—I’m currently exploring total creative surrender—what happens when I release control, and allow creativity to move through me? So far, this. 

Last week, I led a workshop for London Design Week in collaboration with Hotel Designs & Hansgrohe International called, The Art of Water. It gave Designers an opportunity to connect to their own creativity, outside of the deliverables of a project, and drop into a space of release. 

I took participants on a journey to connect to their breathe, their body and an incredible underwater soundscape designed by our partners at GetSound.Ai for the event. We then began a communal painting, allowing our collective creativity to flow out onto the canvas, like water.

The energy in the room was beautiful. There was a true sense of release, and I felt a calling to offer more workshops. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
