Creative – “having the ability or power to create…”Space – “the unlimited greatness or expanse in which all material objects are, and all events occur…” - Jake Stewart (Australia)

What a blessing this place, its people and its program bestow upon the imagination and wonder of one's thoughts. The setting aside of one's time to contemplate prospects, particularly of the creative kind can be somewhat vast and conflictive to the known reality. A space in offering and support to be at the will and mercy of those creative embers sets motions to a path of self-discovery that is worth plunging into.

I found my time at Sam Rit residency to be beyond a comprehendible fulfilment. Fulfilment not only in the areas of the creative elements within my life but my personal journey and my personal objective future also. Arriving unsure how my time was going to be best spent. I relinquished myself to the environment and space natural rhythm took place. This brought a pure clarity and liberation to the shackles which had hindered my processes. I am sure that your environment plays a major part in controlling and subjectifying your ability to be creative. My time at Sam Rit was not too short, nor was it too long. To clear my conceptualisation, harness what skills and means I count value to have. And most of all become better at being myself in all things and in every way.

For all this to have happened I am in thanks to Elysha, Kairo, Isara, Lindsay and On in addition to the entire village of Sam Rit for their unconditional support for whatever was going on in my head. I am pleased to say I am better for it and I thank you all for being and stars within the space of my own creative journey.

I would have no hesitancy in recommending or referring anyone who wished to discover more about themselves, their desires and their skills a better supported environment or circumstance to do so. I plan to return…
