Creative-Being in the World
A collection of his personal and animated works, Norland shows a diversity of functions in both production and pre-production worlds.
Artist and Thinker, Educator in Art and Philosophy, Norland was inspired by the Masters of the Renaissance during his formative years at CalArts (1990-1999).
Creative-Being is a personal publishing company which covers a range of philosophical disciplines, including mythology, philosophy and art.
Focusing on the study of the Popol-Wuh, the Maya epic of creation, Norland shares his doctoral research into this ancient Book of the Counsel in the light of its own mytho-historic form of consciousness.
