Spread 196 – Tribal Markings January 18, 2013
Posted by Orly in Uncategorized.trackback
Moved by my tendencies to create stronger when in a group. There is something about the creative energy of others that boosts your own. There is something to be said about leaving very personal markings on a page when you are sitting very close by like-minded individuals who do exactly the same. I know it’s not for everyone but for me there is nothing more igniting than a collective creative power.
mmmm yes!
love this!

I love all your work, Orly, but especially love this one. It speaks to me!
I always find that collective thing daunting and disempowering. I love seeing what others do but I must do mine on my own.
I have not created around others since art school…i tend to like to create on my own, but i am a totally different person now than i was then, so it might be fun to give it a try! I can definitely see how it could spark your imagination!
awesome art…love the flow of it!
you’re right and this is a very strong image.
It’s Cross Pollination!
I agree! I love the collective experience….of course one that also includes a potluck! But I also love lots and lots of quiet and alone time. I think one feeds the other. And vice versa.
Lovely work Orly. I find the presence of others distracting, and work best alone.
I love this spread. I tend to like both, working alone and in groups. Personally it’s taken a lot of work to get to this point. I can understand both sides of this coin.
I used to be able to create only by myself but now I enjoy both. Knowing that you created you last spread in a group is truly inspiring. Something about it moves me deeply.
I love how your two page journal spread is united. There is so much flow from left to right. Great piece Orly!
THIS is a powerful spread! Love the richness of imagery and color =-)
I’ve been working with the organic (interior) body and the heart center myself this week. You are truly showing us how open hearted you are! it’s beautiful––as are you.
I get my morning cuppa and settle in for a feast for the eyes, and you never disappoint….so lovely, and strong, mesmerising, and your message hits home, and makes me realise myself more. I work better on my own, but maybe working on my own all the time, is why I dont move forward as fast as I could in evolving my art…or myself….?
love this. this spread really speaks to me on many levels and layers. and your words couldn’t be truer… i think more of us are feeling the call to get together and create in that energy.
Love this, Orly. Can’t wait to see you, and for the ‘collective creative power’ to take hold at AAJ next month!
This really speaks to me. There is something very intimate about the ‘inside out’ view we’re getting ~ the rib cage, the bones exposed. Love it.
Such a powerful page — a perfect example of the power of the creative collective!
That’s sooo true! I love the comment that it’s cross pollination!
