Abstract
This study identifies creative principles within the Taoist
philosophy and examines instances where these principles have
influenced historical and contemporary abstract painting practices.
It also explores ways in which these principles may influence
changes within a personal creative practice. The creation of
painted abstract interpretations of the chapters of the I Ching
provides a context for exploring the relationships between these
principles and the development of a particular creative process.
