From my journal 9/29/10:
I'm beginning to create meals from whatever I have in the fridge or the cupboard. I think that might be the definition of a cook. In these tight financial days, that kind of skill saves me money and keeps me running.
Does adversity create better conditions for art? Force one to be more creative with limited supplies?
I don't do well when I'm in a truly adverse situation, but having limits on what I can do and spend creates the perfect conditions for creativity!
ReplyDeleteI didn't mean that having limited means is not an adverse situation-it is. I guess what I mean is that a certain amount of adversity is good condition for creativity, but beyond that it is too difficult. (At least for me)
