Creating something new is never a linear process, there are ups and downs along the way. However, there are striking similarities in the process of different types of creative work. Understanding these similarities enables us to make the best of each aspect of the creative process. To discuss this, I am joined by an artist who teaches her students to embrace the creative process.
Prof Jinny Yu is an internationally recognized artist and professor of visual arts at the University of Ottawa. Her practice is an inquiry into the medium of painting as a means of trying to understand the world around us. Her work presented at the 56th Venice Biennale addresses themes about migration, which resonate with larger political concerns globally. Jinny works simultaneously to scrutinize conventions and to explore new possibilities within the medium of painting, oscillating between the fields of the abstract painting and the object. Her work has been shown widely, including exhibitions in Canada, Germany, Japan, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, UK and USA.
