THE SEARCH
A Conversation with Birmingham-Based Creatives.
I don't know why I do what I do, I just know that I love it... I'm compelled to do it.
It's not a choice, it's a need. The overpowering need to pursue the act of creation. I create because I must. It's an urge that controls me. I could no more choose to stop than a fish could decide to live out of water.
I don't know why I'm like this, I only know that through my work I'm searching. Searching for something that's fundamental to my being. I don't know what it is that I'm searching for, I just know that my impulse to find it is constant. I haven't found it yet, and I really don't know if I ever will.
Why am I searching?
What am I searching for?
Is it a search without end?
Am I alone or are all creatives searching?
Are they all driven to search for the same thing?
Have any of them ever found it?
Can they help me to understand what I'm searching for?
