2020 Was a Year About Perspective

Perspective Painting Acrylic on watercolour paper

When you look down on a landscape from the window of an airplane, it’s often unrecognizable. But as you descend, those abstract patterns become ordinary things: trees, houses, rivers, fields. When you are stuck, a change in perspective often leads to inspiration .

2020 was a year that required us to often change our perspective. If for no other reason than to stave off boredom. When you have been looking at the same four walls day in and day out, it can be interesting to do a headstand and literally look at those same four walls upside down. What do you see from this perspective? How does the room change?

Research shows that traveling to new places can enhance our creativity, so what do you do when travel is impossible? When we change our perspective, the mundane can become exciting, showing that even when we are physically constrained, we can still travel in our imaginations.
