My Framework: Art Thinking

Thinking through perception, cultivated through creative practice.

Art Thinking is a framework developed through sustained art-making and reflective practice. It understands thinking not as a purely cognitive act, but as an attentional state that emerges through sensing, noticing, and relating.

Meaning is not extracted or resolved. It is allowed to take shape through attention to tone, rhythm, pacing, context, and bodily felt sense.

Understanding arises through awareness of self in relation to experience and remains open rather than fixed. Art Thinking is not a method or technique, but an orientation that values presence with complexity over outcomes or optimization.

This framework continues to evolve through lived practice, research, and ongoing engagement with art and perception.
