Adam Nicholson wrote in his book “Life Between the Tides” that “‘Being-with’..more so than a idealized, unreachable alternate universe, or a detached, mechanized domination over Nature, describes a way of the individual within the shared existence of all creatures and forms that describe Life without any certainty of knowing All”.
“Being-with”, with its core aspect of being present in a shared existence, represents the experience of creating as central to the artist’s ability in taking part of the Eternal ebb and flow of Life itself. When I take part in the moment to pick up my brush and submerge myself in the creative act, I give myself over to not knowing what will happen with the hope that I can stay true to the feeling it gives me to be there at that time.
