At some point I will get stuck in whatever project I’m working on. This always happens. It’s as if what ever is moving the work forward needs to take a break. I’ve found that if I stop trying to make things work and switch to making collages in my composition notebook, it keeps my hands in motion and keeps me ready for when whatever it is I’m following decides to start up again.
I don’t think very much about these collages as I’m doing them but much later I’m always surprised to find them looking so fresh when I open an old composition notebook.
