TILT Explained

TILT = The Incredible Little Thing or The Incredible Little Task

TILT is a creative process exercise which is carried into daily life for a week or so and then pops out in whatever form it does - drawing on the events, sights, sounds, smells of the world, people, events, dreams, impulses...

they are inspired by the desire to remain open to imagination, magic, unexpected serendipities - those gifts that burst through what otherwise may be a week of routine and predictability. they tune us deeper into what is around but may be missed.

they are inspired by others who have created space for the same magics to occur - like Learning to Love You More

i invite you to join me in a little TILT or two and would be love to add any of your creations here!

I love the Learning to Love You More project, and other projects - like the work of Mundane Appreciation or Christine Hill - that are a mechanism for celebrating and archiving, collecting and recording - the everyday.

I might TILT for you if you like!

Cheers,
Felix

Hey ya Felix,

That sounds fab - a little TILTing from the woolly-wonder-underbelly of Oxford! I am enjoying wandering through your site...i'm new with this so still trying to come to grips with where to comment - like - where to reply to your comment...i have just read of your fascination with sheep and...well...of course we are a nation of sheep. was recently in Banks Peninsula at a Maori and Colonial museum that happened to have sheep wandering around it...my partner commented that she hadn't realised sheep could be so 'individual' in their baa-ing...we captured some sounds so i will post them on my blog as a wee gift of appreciation for you :)
