Thanks so much @appreciator. Placing words into a shape, sets boundaries and actually simplifies writing for me. Makes me change words, or sequences to fit the shape. Can alter meanings and make them fluid. Which sometime makes me see things quite differently.
I let the words come from different sources ~ Sometimes related to the content or imagery, but as often as not ~ Sometimes it can be something else I'm thinking about at the time and thus the meaning can become obscure to anyone but myself.
But then sometimes they are extra extraordinarily simple ~ A child could have written them. Which reminds me of the Picasso quote:
It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.
I and my brushes are rearing to go now. Just a few more days and I'll have a clear studio. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
Well said!
I believe only very few individuals will be able to actually co-understand the inspiration of Artist.
Thanks @bluemist. Yes, I see more and more that we all have our own way of seeing just about everything. Which makes life 'interesting' but it also gives us the challenge of how to present something so that the intent behind it is clear ~ When we want it to be.
A lot of the time I'm really happy to leave things a little obscure though so that people can see it through their own eyes and heart.
And sometimes I don't even understand the inspiration behind my own work and seeing it through the interpretation of others can show me new aspects ~ Which I'm always so grateful for. ♥︎♥︎⚖️♥︎♥︎
