Jessica Serran speaks about new territories that color can push us into
It would be nice if we could make the emotions into some type of color wheel, wouldn’t it? But it doesn’t work that way. And Jessica knows why.

Favorite quotes from this talk See all
Art–as a creative process–can help us to teach about ourselves and who we are.
Wear a color that makes you uncomfortable, feel how ever you feel whole day, and really pay attention to that.
In order for anything new to emerge, we need to step into a new territory, and it requires getting a little bit uncomfortable. It means we need to step into a darkness and some chaos in order to find the new thing.
Color is something that effects in so many ways all the time, every day.
I’d like to introduce you to this phrase that I love: The way we do anything is the way we do everything.
