WHY CREATIFITY?
I am interested in creative living - thinking, making, doing, expressing, experiencing differently in order to live as well as possible. As a conflation of the words ‘creativity’ and ‘if’ (as in ‘what if?’), creatifity carrys with it an aspirational message about human creativity that is imaginative, emancipatory, and value-positive. This is a message that informs my approach to creativity research and practice - whether as a writer, academic or musician.
"Creativity is the absenting of the absence of living differently
in order to live as well as possible"

certainties”

exceptional property of all people”
