10/9: creative exercises

I did an Odyssey remix in the morning.  I took a page from the Butcher & Lang translation and used words from that page to make a 9-word sentence:  the first word had 1 letter, the second had 2, the third had 3, usw up to 9.  Then I found a way to arrange them on a page in a way that would enact their meaning somewhat.  It was really fun.

In the evening I did a Crystal Bridges workshop on collage composition, and the first activity was inspired by Ellsworth Kelly's Brushstrokes Cut into Forty-Nine Squares and Arranged by Chance.  That was a happy surprise.
