About The Triggers Board
The Triggers Board is a virtual whiteboard … a place for me to jot down the musing energies of a particular day. The words on this board are not arbitrary labels or names but keywords and key-phrases which I’m hoping will “trigger” the original impulse or thought.

"The Creative Energy Workouts - and the images I create of myself during these explosive personal sessions - awaken my energy, strengthen the connection to my innermost creative soul and open the gates of communication with the outside world. My Theater Work arouses from my lust-for-life - the need to explore life beyond the safe boundaries of my own self."

about creating from within
This morning, looking at old photographs, I felt a bit “nostalgic” about working with models and actors. After mentioning this to a former “muse”, her comments unchained a great number of “thoughts” about not only the difference between working with others - models, actors - and being “my own muse” but also, about how sometimes “necessity” is an artist best guide to our creative journey.

The same way that the pandemic opened new ways for me to express through the virtual theater language, living in a remote place without the access to talent for photoshoots, etc.has forced me to search inwards for inspiration resulting in what - in my opinion - perhaps the most honest work I have ever created.
I have always found other artists’ - photographers, painters - self-portraits to be inspiring and, in most cases, their best work. I believe this to be because of the level of honesty in these photos and paintings and because I truly believe that no muse could ever know us and reflect who we are better than ourselves, unless of course - we don’t know who we are.
Self-judgement and fear for the judgement of others play a big role in our transcending and self-discovery process as artist and individuals. Honesty and transparency are often confused - even by us artists ourselves - with the “negative” perception of narcissism and exhibitionism.
As I get prepared to launch The Absolute Creative Space and revisit Becoming a Rose, I’m reminded of how necessity has showed me the path towards becoming the artist I always wanted to be. I suppose - like the popular song says - necessity has facilitated “no distractions” - which I have never thought about it until now - is basically the concept behind my idea of The Bare Character.
