  • My mind is a map

    Hi
    This is the text from last friday
    Sorry if I missed some of you, or sorry for the ones that didn t understand what to do
    I think it is a really nice text... Great job!!

    My mind is a map
    Sometimes the fog covers it
    A side efect of me beeing lazy, my mind is hazy.
    When it is full of things to think about it is like a city with thousands of voices and sounds coming from everywhere
    And at Night, it can be like a maze with dead ends that do not add up or make any sense
    My mind is a map
    Through the land flows a river. Everynow and then various tributaries join the main stream and at the mouth there are millions of them fighting for a place in the sea. Only the strongest gets through. Sometimes bad ideas get through too and pollute the water.
    In some parts there are cities on hills wich rise steeply and chasms dropping to oblivion.
    In some others there are busy motorways.
    Further south there is a pool of hopes, dreams and wishes. It is deep and murky so no one can see through.
    And looking at East you can see a jungle where plants and animals are full of memories.
    Sometimes my mind is a rain storm.
    Just a rain storm.
    The lovely kind.
    In my mind, the positions of islands mirrors the constilations of the stars.
    Sometimes it is confused like thousands of crossroads.
    My mind is a map.
    It is a continuous road of conversations and experiences.
    There the jouney never ends.

    hi ali, i've read your blog, i think it all sounds pretty cool, I liked the black silhouettes on the background picture from last year, but i think that the background picture should stay the same for each picture, or else it will be too much of a distraction, unless the backgrounds are really similar. I think the prints should be separate from the projection, they should be some of the ones from the brochure. thanks, hazel.
