“Look around inside subduing the vanities and find the most pregnant obsession of your imaginings: one that cautions, one that smells like iodine, yellowy foam on the sea wall. Bind it for a time and see what’s trying to poke out between the lacings. This should be the stuff of revelation. Free these escaping extrusions and let them roam around freely in the observant you. As they form image take them into your materials. They will most likely surrender. Now look for external coincidences to these newly-hatched visions. If one confronts you (many will), fold it into the everything of your work. Now read the mystery. Obsess and repeat the process. I think this is how I work. I am not sure.”
