If artistic creations emerge from our lives and the ways in which we see the world, then it seems useful to engage the workplace as a source of creative subject matter and energy. The job is the place where most of us spend time and expend effort each day.

Our creations and our lives are enhanced when we realize that everything in our environment is a source for imagination.
