Mixed Media to the Rescue: How the Absence of Language Moves Language Forward

May 26, 2015 by jjscreativelifemidwife Leave a Comment

It seems like an unlikely conundrum for a lover of words. When I am working for a long time with language on a specific problem, I find myself most able to gain insights when I step away from language and work from a non-language approach.

I have been working on re-branding my creative life coach and soul growth business and I bumped into a language barrier. I moved to mixed media and the layers – and images – and vintage book pages – and layers – and images – and colors – started to do their magic and speak to me differently than if I had just sat at my desk and attempted to “figure it all out”.

Mixed media works differently.

Mistakes lead to the choice to add more colors or layers of paint or paper or ink.

Found language lifts words which speak to the language blocks differently. It isn’t a collision of words or ideas, it is a periscope or a tunnel into a breakthrough that wasn’t previously there.

This helped me immeasurably. I have moved forward in ways I never could have without taking the time away from the written word and language and into the beyond language space.

Have you tried mixed media?

If you haven’t, why not try something new?

This June and July I will be participating in the Daisy Yellow Index Card a day art challenge. I encourage you to consider it.
