pictures of thoughts

a bunch of years ago, i read an article that said if you have a lot on your mind you should make a collage and then look at it. apparently based on what's going on in your head, you'll be attracted to words, colors, quotes, images that have themes, and you can tell what is going to happen in your life. i read this sometime around freshman year in college and for a good six years or so afterward made collages...and i'm not talking about a collage on a piece of construction paper. mine covered large portions of walls in my room.

about four years ago, i took pictures of the last collage and then took it down. i haven't made one (large or small) since. there has been a lot running through my mind the last month or so though, and there is a blank wall in my room where i don't want to hang pictures (in the framed sense)...so i have been thinking that it might be time for another very large collage in my life. maybe it will help to get some of the ideas out of my head and into images and phrases.
