manifesto

Gone the canvas and the brush

Gone the mist, stone and water

Gone the cloud, rain, lake and river

Sign them off until further notice

 

Bring on the word

Of memory and chance

Find a system to generate rules

Follow them slavishly and unswervingly

Be not too serious, rather playful but reflective

Do not look back

Find numbers random or calculated

Do their bidding until there’s a pause

 

Ask questions of one and all

Don’t give in until they answer

Make of these responses another system

To generate rules

To follow

Unswervingly

Deliberately

Systematically

 

In series

Never in isolation.
