Chapter 7 224 Figure 7 . 5 Digital drawing to illustrate seeing herself as a creative person (Margaret-NPI- 2013081 Con 7 -Photo 001 ) This perspective transformation, or milestone, built on the one which came before it. After internalising the professional artistry or potential for it in our own practice, we also became more aware of the creativity and intangible aspects inherent in our professional practice and in our lives. We each came to a point at which it seemed second nature to look for the underlying, less tangible aspects of a practice scenario, using creative methods physically or even, in some cases, in our imagination, to enable us to grasp and articulate the implicit aspects of the situation. Well I didn’t have the cards with me and nothing to draw on. No matter! I thought how similar the situation was to that card where the woman is knitting her socks while wearing them at the same time. You know? You know the one? And I thought about it. Can you sharpen an axe while you chop wood? No, you can’t. But perhaps it is possible to design or make and use something, put it to use immediately. Anyway, funny thing. Looking at a case like that. My mind makes connections now, I try to explain things to myself in pictures. Pieter-NPI- 20120724 Con -p 4 .
