Creating Dispositions
Chairs and Lamps by Artists
The right frame of mind is, more often than not, the standard starting point for the creative process, in whichever creative field.
A comfortable chair and good task lighting are helpful to most. These help provide the ideal conditions to set the kindling for the fires of creativity. Once in the right disposition and the fire is lit, the artist gets stoked into producing something tangibly consumable. He can become consumed by the process.
Sometimes, the process becomes the goal. Then everything in it that can set a tone, generate a mood or change dispositions becomes material.
The chair and the lamp lose their ubiquity and become objects of engaged interest–more sculptural than ergonomic, more conceptual than architectural, more fun than functional.
Purposefulness is lost. Purpose is found.
