INTERNAL DIALOGUES

We all have conversations going on in our head with questions and answers that boggle our minds and conjure up images. How do these internal dialogues influence the work we create? Is your process as an artist one of planning, working out your ideas with lists and thumbnail sketches? Or are you more intuitive and improvisational, using chance and encouraging happy accidents? Maybe you even engage both. Show us what your internal dialogues look like!
