"Imagination is what links us directly to hope because if we can't imagine a better future, we can't be hopeful about a better future. Art is the channel that directs us to hope because we are actively using our imaginations to create what didn't exist before." - Molly the Imagination
It's amazing how much tension we might find in the creative process. Tension in the creative process is not the same as "resistance". Encountering tension is not always an indicator that you're the on the wrong path or that you should stop what you're creating and go a different route. Sometimes, tension is like a birthing pain that comes with the labor of the creative process.
Another episode from our unpublished backlog, we were so thrilled to sit down with Molly the Imagination back in the Fall to explore the topic of "Birthing Our Ideas while Deconstructing Identity in the Creative Process".
