It was really good to see this piece, Alison. I'm a big fan of juxtaposition in visual art. And I'm still a fan of postmodernist literature. What I especially like about your guidance here is that it challenges us to SEE in fresh new ways. It's so easy to accept the status quo and to feel that nothing new can be said when all we really need is something to jumpstart a shift in perspective. Thanks for sharing this important creative lifeline.
If good writing is about strong metaphor, then this idea expands on that. Seeing in a new and renewed way knocks flat that dull idea that "everything's been said before"--that most depressing of notions for an artist!

this is so helpful to me, thank you for resurfacing this one! I suspect I'll be returning to this post again for inspiration.
So glad you find it useful, Dawn. Thank you for taking time to let me know, too.
