Rezensionen

This book makes an important contribution to the literature of creative studies. Drawing on contemporary research in the field with particular insight into the value of recent digitally based practice, the author introduces a rigorous and illuminating analysis of the often enigmatic nature of the creative process, grounded in lively interviews with practising artists, scientists and technologists, providing a deeper understanding of the ways in which artworks, and indeed any other creative outcomes, evolve in all their complexity.
Siân Ede, author of 'Art & Science'

Linda Candy shows us how the powerful paradigm of reflective practice can be used to understand creative thought in such diverse fields

as science, engineering, art, design and music. Her interviews with distinguished practitioners provide a privileged glimpse into especially creative minds and her analysis reveals fascinatingly generic aspects of cognition. This book deserves to become a standard text in the field; there is every chance that it will.

Linda Candy has created an incredible book on creativity. Her deep reflections on the nature of creativity will be of vital importance to anyone engaging with reflective creative practice. Through the voice of many significant artists and practitioners from a broad range of fields and disciplines, Candy weaves together a framework with which to understand their reflective practices, but more importantly how we, the readers, can benefit and enhance our own creativity.
