Letter: How does free will apply to an artist?

Published 25 October 2023

From Bonita Ely, Sydney, Australia

I apply conflicting theories about free will to myself – do we have agency over our actions, thoughts and imaginings, or are we the result of a “zillion” influences? This gets tricky for artists like me, with imagination, lateral thinking, heightened aesthetic sensibilities, creativity, emotions and originality thrown into the pot (30 September, p 32).
