This is a film with and about Ashland, OR artists. Greeley Wells, director, and Ed Keller, editor, got an idea for a film about artists discussing the nude figure. The project started with 10 hours of interview footage. The concept was do something free form allowing the artists themselves to drive the content with a few statements of intent by Greeley. They described the beauty and meaning it had for them. The creations it gave birth to. The creative process became central with it's concentration, focus, deep, close, clear seeing and acceptance. When the concept of the muse arose it was discussed in its many forms as how it seemed to inform and flow through them. This excitement and fulfillment was central to the creative process. Artists make creative use of the nude and that echoes through all history. The conversation shifted to the problems with nudity in our society. The distortions and fear, society's nude taboos of endless stress and distress, exploitation and exhibitionism and a million other permutations: religious, societal, family, illness, traumas, etc. It occurred to us: why were artists immune to this? If you concentrate on something, learn about it, look deeply at it and practice it, you eventually fall in love with it and respect it. The most important conclusion we came to was that those very artist's creative skills could be useful in finding solutions to many of the world's other problems. Perhaps even the Muse would come forth to inform us of solutions.
