Summary Why do humans create art? Filmmaker Karen Cantor went to Santa Fe to find out. Sculptors, painters, weavers, musicians, and writers share their journeys into the unknown, whether starting from 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 the strands produced from its own body, just as the artists reach into their inner selves and formulate their creations. Working in a beautiful natural environment we see how nature is incorporated into art. Not only does 'Invitation to the Muse' reflect artists' inner journeys, it also is a feast for the eyes and a celebration of the creative force. View more details
