I approach my work as a writer would approach a new story or poem. I
acquaint myself with the separate elements that are available to me, each element possessing it's own character. Then, slowly, through familiarity, the elements change, not in their form but in their identity and they begin to fall into place and they begin to relate to each other and to the composition as a whole and then they begin to take
on a larger meaning or form which is recognizable as such and as a self
of it's own.
My rules for composition are sensuousness, rhythm, form, texture,
color, balance and enrichment.
