‘The day is coming when a carrot, freshly observed, will start a revolution.’ Paul Cezanne

Through these many and varied creative explorations Cliff Wright has discovered a passion for authentic seeing or reaching beyond the limitations of the mind-made world we create around us. In a few simple drawing exercises it can be revealed that we draw that which we think we see – so it follows that for the most part we are seeing through the limitations of thought.

 
‘A desire to move beyond the limitations of the mind reveals an often-hidden world of instinctive and intuitive response and deeper trust in the creative process to reveal the answers. I attempt to develop my work as a continually evolving exploration of ‘getting out of the way’ to allow the mysterious, elusive and magical connection to the creative source to appear. Strangely, in this way we give ourselves the chance to reach our highest levels of creativity’
