Abstraction is a vehicle toward a beginner’s mind and expanded creativity.

Be abstract:

• Emphasis on making something rather than defining what you are making.
• Hold your chosen tool, face the thing you have selected to engage the tool with, and begin again.

Absence of Mind:

• Quiet the volume on thinking through each step.
• Allow the tools before you lead your expression.

Imagine it so:

• If your tool can create it, so it exists.
• Care not what it resembles, care for its originality.
