The Adjacent Possible: Guidebook & Stories Of Artistic Transformation - Hardcover

by Nancy Hillis (Author), Bruce Sawhill (Author)

For thousands of years before the written word, humans learned about their ancestors and the world around them through story, passed down through the generations.
Art predated the written word, and has been a source of story from the first prehistoric cave paintings onwards.
On the heels of Nancy Hillis' bestselling book The Adjacent Possible, this guidebook animates the science of creativity through artists' stories about embracing the unfolding of art. This is poised instability- the pivot point between creation and collapse. This is where innovation thrives.
This is the art and science of the possible- A world of continuous creation.
This book will:

• connect scientific concepts with artistic practice to understand the nature of surprise
• illuminate the creative journey of discovery through artists' stories
• build artistic confidence through reflections and creativity exercises
