My "word for 2009" -- intent -- fit the "state of mind" part of the brief. For example, being intent on soaking up the excess ink (a technique I'll keep in mind for making "electrophoresis" patterns) --
And a lot of stabbing (intently) at the paper with an almost-dry bristly brush made this feathery edge - another technique that might come in handy later -
People brought bagsful of media to mix -
I tried to keep it simple and ended up with this display (and a few rejects). Left to right, the top row represents form (the white shapes are on a transparent overlay), quantity (one!), line, and mark; 2nd row sound (echo), tone, substance, light;
3rd row: weight, movement, time, gravity.
"Time" uses a bit of intensive stitching (prepared earlier) - there's lots of time inherent in that.
Discovered in a magazine in the library at lunchtime - Barnet Newman's 1968 "Lace Curtain for Mayor Daley" (of Chicago).
