Perceptions of Flow: “Formation” is a component of a two-part exhibition that looks into the conceptualization process of a creative idea. In this exhibit artists explore their individual expression through an interdisciplinary approach which blends various forms of visual arts, ceramics and poetry. The exhibit intentionality is to visually and auditorily represent the tension a creative has internally with their flow of expression which is then shared with the audience.
