As a collage artist that also writes poetry, this perfectly captures my experiences. I love how you describe the change from "a thinking animal to an animal in motion" and the pleasure of the physicality of making art. I really identified with that! Your parallels between the two processes are very familiar, but I'd never thought of them like this before. Really enjoyed reading and seeing your artwork too - your use of color is brilliant. Thanks for this!
Such an exciting meditation on the cross-pollination between painting and poetry. You show us how working across art forms (as with writing across languages) can enrich our holistic artistic practice and our lives. Stunning column, Andrea!
"I’d morph from a thinking animal to an animal in motion"-- love this!
