Although surprised by the results, I think there is always some level of self-consciousness or self-awareness in such a process. There is a reciprocity between the movement of the arm and body in the gesture of drawing, and the thoughts and images produced, that might be further studied.
Play is more than just fun.
— Stuart Brown, TED talk, 2009 https://www.ted.com/talks/stuart _ brown _ play _ is _ more _ than _ just _ fun ..playing is a creative experience, which makes possible a sense of continuity in space and time for the baby and the discovery of self. — D.W.Winnicott, Playing and Reality , 1971. https://web.mit.edu/allanmc/www/winnicott.pdf
From the sketchbook is composed of fragments, enlarged and organised as a montage, in a sequence with its own logic.
What compelled me to do this? Perhaps, it was simply curiosity.
These are drawings that are simple, spontaneous gestures enacted quickly, words repeated for their sound, graphic quality and rhythm, drawn at different moments in different sketchbooks, doodles really, throw-aways I thought. As I worked to digitise them and then to edit and select the sequencing , the structure and relationship of the scribbles and words developed their own rhythm and purpose. Separately these fragments record a moment in time, together they become a script than is read as a meditation/mediation/ gesture; they are more together, less when alone. £
