I've never been capable of strict originality
wholly new ideas birthed from the
artistic ether
raw in form and substance
rather interpretation
translation
collage and pastiche are my methods
for creative construction
like a gardener who prepares the soil
and nurtures the budding seed
towards growth with attention,
a guide rather than a god,
cultivating purpose out of
bright and potential-filled materials.
Talent needs to be used
and although mine was never
divine conception,
seeing patterns and possibility
in inert inspiration
and crafting some result
has always been my incessant itch,
a weaving rather than a spinning
to make a sum that is greater than its parts.
