Creativity doesn’t only live in art schools and studios.
Hi, I’m Yanina, and I’m taking over the Space for Art Instagram account this month.
A few weeks ago I went on a five-day walk along the Camino de Santiago. In my backpack, between clothes, books and a water bottle, I carried a few sheets of cyanotype paper.
Along the way I picked up whatever caught my eye: a fern by the path, a strand of seaweed, a handful of fallen leaves. I laid them on the paper and let the sun do the rest.
Now I have a frame filled with blue postcards of my journey. Little traces of the path. Shapes I held in my hands. Light from those exact days.
It isn’t difficult. All you need is your attention, and something to record the moment with. A pencil, a small notebook, a needle and thread. Whatever fits in your pocket.
So here is my invitation to you: next time you go somewhere, a long journey or just a walk around the block, take one creative tool with you. Notice what catches your eye, and keep a little piece of it
