"I donʼt know where we are going but I
know exactly how to get there."
We are complex beings nested
within complex systems.
Transitions introduce and
unveil new layers of this
complexity, presenting both
challenges and opportunities
for growth.
“The key thing in complexity is you start
journeys with a sense of direction; you
don't try and achieve goals.”

"The adjacent possible is a kind of shadow
future, hovering on the edges of the
present state of things, a map of all the
ways in which the present can reinvent
itself."

“All art is a work in progress. Itʼs helpful to see the piece
weʼre working on as an experiment. One in which we canʼt
predict the outcome. Whatever the result, we will receive
useful information that will benefit the next experiment. If
you start from the position that there is no right or wrong,
no good or bad, and creativity is just free play with no
rules, itʼs easier to submerge yourself joyfully in the
process of making things."
