Creation: to invent, to bring something forth. Grief: comes from the Latin word Gravare, to weigh, afflict, and make undoubtedly heavy. One word feels uncannily singular, stagnant. The other distinguishes itself as movement, not even pausing, always implying forward. Together collapsed into one afternoon during the spring equinox, we examined how both words were / are breeding grounds for living and maybe, what we have come to understand as a task of ‘always dying’ which is to be in stillness and in action at once to simply make art.
