About

Hello ! I’m Mary Gordon I’ve been a practicing creative artist since 1995. My art practice covers fiction film, documentary, writing, analogue photography and the outer reaches of the new digital world as I explore how to use new tools to curate projects. My education was in Film & Media Studies at Stirling University. In addition to my own creative work I’ve worked on films, TV, publishing, film festivals, training, with cloned sheep and voluntary organisations. I’ve also run in person creativity workshops based on the work of Julia Cameron’s Artist’s Way. This blog is an expression of a creative conversation I’ve been having with myself and a few selected people in the analogue world on :

How do we live and be creative?

How do we support our creative selves?

How do we transition from one form of creativity to another?

What enables us to survive and thrive?

How do we not go under when being creative feels like removing a mountain armed only with a teaspoon which is only intermittently available?

How do we live as creative people in an uncreative world? Or are we asking the wrong question?

How do we live?

Can we sing?

There’s an interview with me here on Clear Minded Creative.
