Simple abilities



“..The artist also brings more into her work than the simple ability to paint. In one-way or another all of her experience is involved. When you pay attention to framework1 primarily, it is as if you have learned to write simple sentences with one word neatly before the other. You have not really learnt true expression. In your life you are writing sentences like “see Tommy run”. Your mind is not really dealing with concepts but with simple perception of objects so that little imagination is involved. You can express the location of objects in space and you can communicate to others in a familiar fashion, confirming the physical obvious properties that others also perceive.

In those terms, using our analogy, the recognition of framework2 would bring you from that point to the production of great art, where [paint] serves to express not only the seen but the unseen-not simply facts but feelings and emotions- and where the [painted images] them selves escaped their patterns sending the emotions into realms that quite defy both time and space..” Session 820.


I wonder if this would work for written work, all those words of the various required papers which are the bane of my academic experience. Since the creative technology of FW2 to FW1 production would be similar with only the form of the outcome differing, I'll give the practise a try.
