words and pictures often merge
but this is a different take on it
i've been told (via an essay by al alvarez) jean rhys used to write her intense, evocative novels in bits - sentences, phrases, fragments on small pieces of paper. she would put these together in a bag, and would carry this with her. and then she would arrange these pieces into her story. not a random assemblage, but a carefully pieced together mindmap
a wonderful way of working, an evocative construction of a creative mind
new words, new everything (essay)
trying to find this information, i searched "bits" "paper" "bag" and found this from a blog, smallest forest
Besides looking quirky on the wall, I can throw all those bits of paper that turn up during the month into the bag—where they’ll stay put until I can sort them out.
another interesting idea - i like it.
