| Summary: | Theories abound as to why and how humans create art. In this documentary film, captured at the Santa Fe Art Institute, viewers hear from a diverse array of artists, including sculptors, painters, weavers, musicians, and writers. They share their thoughts and feelings as they journey on a chartless path that begins with a slab of stone, a blank canvas, or a pile of wool. Filmed in a poetic style, the filmmaker uses the metaphor of a spider creating its web, endlessly spinning its strands, just as the artists reach into their inner selves and formulate their creations. In the beautiful natural environment, artists pull their scenery into their work. The poet is seduced by the rolling fields before her, capturing it in the rhythm of her poetry. A visual artist and a composer talk about "œthe grid,"#x9D; the structure underpinning their creations. The tapestry weaver explains the appeal of his chosen colors, the personal rainbow resplendent in his work.
