Beautiful and eloquent description of an artist's process. I always love seeing behind the scenes. "My reality and truth begin when the image shifts, bringing along the mess of uncertainty that comes it." And as writers, uncertainty is the land we much live in much of the time, and must be comfortable existing inside. Lovely essay!
Glad this piece resonated with you, Ellis! I also appreciate the element of the unknown, the mysterious, in the creative process. I like this quote from Simone Weil: ““[T]here is a mystery in reading, a mystery that, if we contemplate it, may well help us, not to explain, but to grab hold of other mysteries in human life.”
