Here are Yael Friedman‘s AUTOR Award @ Venice Design Week, Italy, 2019:I wake up late and go out for a few minutes of photosynthesis in the glorious nature.
I avoid the news and updates until noon, checking it only once a day (I am sure that if something extraordinary will happen, someone will let me know).
I doodle and doodle and doodle – trying not to think serious thoughts, just mindless doodles and sketches of positive funny ideas.
I have rediscovered that many a things can be created using what we have at home so that is what I am doing in between reading and cooking and talking and sleeping. I create ! Anything and everything. Nothing for a special occasion or an exhibition .. there will be many opportunities in the time After.
…and all those virtual museum tours…great sources of inspiration.
We creators are lucky, we have a creative mind, we think and design and invent and create. This is what we do everyday, rain or shine. Good situations create ample ideas but so do bad ones. We can express what we feel through objects…in 2d 3d and sometimes we even use the fourth dimension…our mind is a wonderful place and our creativity a tool.
