WHILE WRITING YESTERDAY'S ENTRY, I WAS DELIGHTEDwhen the phrase/nomenclature TOPOGRAPHY OF THINGS rolled off of my yellow penny pencil. It felt as if I had coined an original word group. But, alas, upon googling the phrase, I did discover that a few other creative minds had, if not created, used the phrase. For instance, you can buy a Topography of Things duvet for your bed.
Be that as it may, I still like the phrase and intend to use it as the title of a new body of work. Initially that body of work will be comprised of existing pictures culled from picture library but I must write that the phrase has given me a kick in the butt to begin picturing outside of the box .... metaphorically writing, the box being my kitchen. Not that I have not done so in the past, it's just that I want to consciously expand my range.
FYI, the act of culling through my picture library for topography of things pictures will require that I define what constitutes a "thing". At first blush, it seems that definition of a thing should be, an inanimate object. However, that definition is not, at this time, an operative directive. Gotta think about it.
