Wherever one looks one sees a creation of one form or another. Whether it be a finely-laced curtain, a plastic bottle of soda, a piece of paper, a house, a tree or even a lump of rock, one sees something at some stage of the creative process.

While a lot could be said of the natural creative processes that have formed soils, mountains and worlds, I would like to focus more upon the human creative process. As humans ourselves, we ought to be better placed to understand the processes involved in anything we do, including our creations. Yet, alas, we have an all too familiar tendency these days to interpret that which we do in an almost purely economic fashion. We create to satisfy our needs and to make ourselves wealthier and to afford ourselves a better life.
