David Horridge's creative process

Horridge claims that his creative process is an act of subtractive creativity and makes sure he is fully informed and educated on the subject before he begins work on it. Horridge says that "a blank page  is only intimidating when I feel pressured to add something to it. So I don't. To him a blank page is merely a shovel and his ideas are buried deep inside his mind. He digs through his mind thinking of as many ideas as possible without critiquing them, because this would only slow him down. He then leaves these ideas alone for a while to return later to them alone, where he beings his discovery process. One by one he goes through every ice and looks for potential in it. He claims its more of a listening process then anything. Dig, sift, listen, repeat. He then is left with polished ideas, but says tha "it's the calluses that makes me most proud".
