Everything does come from nature. that's where you get new ideas. just draw the landscape. i felt doing it with a bit of burnt wood was also good because i was drawing burnt wood with a piece of wood. i wanted to do black and white. after using color, i thought black and white would be good. you can have color in black and white. there is color in them, actually.

How did we make the transition from using wood to using coal, from using coal to using oil, from using oil to using natural gas? how in god's name did we make that transition without a federal energy agency?
Oil Agency Government
You know what i am going to say. i love you. what other men may mean when they use that expression, i cannot tell. what i mean is that i am under the influence of some tremendous attraction which i have resisted in vain, and which overmasters me. you could draw me to fire, you could draw me to water, you could draw me to the gallows, you could draw me to any death, you could draw me to anything i have most avoided, you could draw me to any exposure and disgrace. this and the confusion of my thoughts, so that i am fit for nothing, is what i mean by your being the ruin of me.

When it does get below freezing and there is - it's cold enough for ice to form, then that changes the whole landscape, and it makes the landscape a different landscape to the one that i worked with previously. and i want to understand that. but the big tension of the ice works is that they're often made when it's cold enough to freeze one piece of ice to another.

The acts of the mind, wherein it exerts its power over simple ideas, are chiefly these three: 1. combining several simple ideas into one compound one, and thus all complex ideas are made. 2. the second is bringing two ideas, whether simple or complex, together, and setting them by one another so as to take a view of them at once, without uniting them into one, by which it gets all its ideas of relations. 3. the third is separating them from all other ideas that accompany them in their real existence: this is called abstraction, and thus all its general ideas are made.

Until i saw my drawings replayed on the ipad, i'd never seen myself draw. someone watching me would be concentrating on the exact moment, but i'd always be thinking a little bit ahead. that's especially so in a drawing where you are limiting yourself, a line drawing for example. when you are doing them you are very tense, because you have to reduce everything to such simple terms.

There are more ideas on earth than intellectuals imagine. and these ideas are more active, stronger, more resistant, more passionate than "politicians" think. we have to be there at the birth of ideas, the bursting outward of their force: not in books expressing them, but in events manifesting this force, in struggles carried on around ideas, for or against them. ideas do not rule the world. but it is because the world has ideas (and because it constantly produces them) that it is not passively ruled by those who are its leaders or those who would like to teach it, once and for all, what it must think.
