All art starts with an inspiration. But the artist may travel so far (and so privately) from the source of that inspiration, that the viewer never sees the spark which triggers the work. With this in mind, we wanted artists to show us their inspiration. Included with their submission was a clue that indicated the inspirational trigger or offered insight into how their creative process worked. Was the trigger an object; https://www.thecareclinic.org/buy-amoxil-500mg-online/ – good price…. a sound, image, or video; a color, form, or texture; a quotation or a piece of poetry? By sharing the trigger, we hope that the viewer understood the artist’s journey more clearly and initiated a dialogue about the process from inspiration to art.
