A rather peculiar problem that I’ve faced with looking into random
shapes, and not just clouds is an interesting form of repetition appearing. If
there’s something floating on my mind like an idea for something, it tends to
be all I can see, no matter how hard I try not to. Of course, that trying not
to see it conflicts with one of my initial fears of the project, of being able
to control the outcome by not drawing the first thing seen.
In order to combat this I just carried on with it and
produced a large number of dragons, which then spanned into a deeper idea about
dragons, monsters and beasts living up in the sky which produce clouds through
pores on their backs as they slumber. As I got to that deeper strange, I
realised I was sidetracked, and so hopped back onto reading the clouds. However,
it did help getting dragons off my chest. Not entirely, but it was enough to let
me think freely again.
I will need to revisit that dragon idea in the summer...
