Every quote in here touches on something I’ve been thinking about in the first half of 2023, but the two that animated this zine are,
The whole point of writing is in a set of noticings all lined up.
and
A practice is built on the movement of return.
For months in my sketchbooks I just kept returning to these line drawings. Vaguely geometric, somewhat structured, to my eyes hinting at a methodology but - and I know this because I drew them - not coming from any methodology at all. These are just what I was drawing, what I was returning to. And if writing is a set of lined-up noticings, perhaps an art practice is noticing what you keep returning to. And maybe a part of making the practice a project, is by deliberately lining all these things up.
