“The Dancer is about creativity… everything we create starts with a little idea — many times we get these ideas in quiet moments of inner reflection. I wanted to validate the time spent daydreaming that seems unproductive, but from which spurts of creativity arise. It’s so important to quietly imagine and get excited about possibilities. I chose dance as a universal expression of creativity because modern dance and ballet is what I watch to be inspired. It is sculpture in motion! And one of the most beautiful ways of using the body to express emotion.” –Susan Lordi
