Michael Pinchbeck invited us to go and view some Master graduate students artwork. Their work was all about process. We were able to see their starting points and their process into their final product. This was an eye-opener for me, as I could see how something can be formed from nothing. The famous quote by Margaret Wolfe Hungerford “beauty is in the eye of the beholder” (Hungerford, 1878). This was completely true for the artists work, you could how they saw something from the normal items and created something beautiful. One of the artists had formed a beautiful painting out of wood chippings; it startled me at how something so simple could create something so lovely. The picture below is an image I took at the art exhibition of the start and finish of the process for one of the artists:

Seeing these pieces art allowed me to open up my imagination into what we as a Theatre Company could create. It also made me aware that not everything needs to be complicated, and how simplicity can be just as effective.
