On Seeing, A Journal #452
Fantastical Aspirations
October 19, 2021
When an artist puts brush to palette, composer takes up pen and paper, sculptor places chisel to stone, pre-visualized imagery, i.e. fictions, that exist in their imaginations begin to emerge into the non-fiction world that can be shared.
The images in this project were generated from my imagination: they are creative or “artistic fictions.” Now that they exist in the world they’ve become nonfiction.
