MarshV 08-26-04: But I wonder if it's a good idea to dissect the process of art. If I wish it to remain in the realm of the dynamic, shouldn't it just be allowed to be
what it is? It's this today, but it might be something totally different
tomorrow. I have been discovering lately that the moment I state something
is, I quickly discover it's opposite to be true too. Painting is helping me
accept, and maybe even embrace the contradictions. I'm afraid talking about
it will ruin it. On the other hand, sometimes I feel if I don't talk about
it, I'll burst.
MatshaV 08-27-04 I don't know what I don't know.
Ian 08-29-04: Better (MoQ-based) tests than cold scientific logic ?
How about ...
Consideration of which (MoQ) layers the current issue relates,
relationships between the layers and the motivations of the actors involved.
Gut feel, common sense, the opinion of someone you "trust".
A good story, a good joke / aphorism / analogy / metaphor, sleep on it
perhaps ...A long hard think on a lonely mountaintop, after a long hard climb in which
to forget about cultural pre-conceptions ?
Or the Joni Mitchell Method - "I've looked at clouds from both sides now"
Or - my personal favourite - staring in wonder at a strong tidal flow of
water for a few hours.
joe: intersubjective agreement! A way to proceed, or the need to proceed? It can't be all bad! The Little Prince cleaning his volcanoes every morning! Moq Jargon! Deeply felt (?s) rise to the surface. Thanks MarshaV! Thanks Ian!
