Responding to your troubles

I was reading what you wrote a few days ago, it seems to me that you're falling for the same trap and over thinking again, I know that what you wrote was fairly loose and not necessarily defining anything but it still is placing these thoughts into words which has a limiting, categorising effect. The main problem you seem to have is separating your critical practice/learning from the artistic, so it may be wise to simply collect those visual images you find interesting and arrange them in ways that strike a chord, not a literary chord but just a feeling that they're right together. this way you'll find other allusions may occur that actually end up meaning more to you. whether this is any use to you i don;t know.
