Creativity and Inspiration

Creativity and Inspiration is about Abella Ballen's creative process, including drawings and notes from her notebooks with linkages to images that resulted from those ideas. She says it best, "How do I get ideas that result in art? What do we call art? How does

art communicate and to whom does it communicate? These are questions

that are always posed to artists.

"As artists we are members of a particular group influenced by the

environments we inhabit whether they be physical, social, cultural,

psychological, or artistic, and this becomes the source of our artistic

interests and visual responses.

"The imaginative and intellectual work I do in the studio is a form of

research, an exploration of a particular subject to be developed in a

personal visual manner. The development of visual expression, when

using the imagination, often draws from memory, which is tinged by

feelings."
