I use chance methods to create my paintings and drawings – I would love to hear from you if you do the same!

I’ve never quite gone to throwing the I Ching or score fragments in the air for musical composition, but I often start with some random arbitrary idea like what would a combination of these two unlike things sound like. With music and its abstract nature these pseudo random things work pretty well pretty often.
With poetry I have used random stuff, exquisite corpse, cut ups, random word choices. The results don’t work for me as often, but they are inspiring. The failures of random writing inspire and rejuvenate the less abstract and arbitrary creative literary urge for me.

Hi Frank,
Thank you for commenting!
I would love to see your poetry exploits. Let me know if you’d ever like to share them here. I also use random word choices to write poems occasionally.
