Tensegrity: A Guide to Tackling Tension In Creativity
Tensegrity is a meditative exploration of the creative journey—a book for artists, makers, writers, dreamers, and anyone standing in the delicate tension between who they are and who they are becoming.
Drawing its title from the architectural term coined by futurist R. Buckminster Fuller, tensegrity refers to structures that hold their form through a balance of tension and integrity. The book uses this metaphor as its foundation, showing that the same principles apply to the creative soul: we are held together by the push and pull of doubt and hope, stillness and urgency, vision and vulnerability.
This is not a manual for perfect creativity. Instead, it is a lyrical and deeply human collection of reflections, guiding readers through the unglamorous but essential phases of the artistic process—the blank page, the stalled project, the private doubts, the quiet breakthroughs.
