Contemplation

"In making this temple, it is evident that the trees are set as boundaries, and that within them the regions are set where the eyes are to view... from which was said templum and contemplare to "contemplate",.... Contempla 'do thou contemplate' and conspicare 'do thou view' are the same, it is obvious, and therefore the augur, when he makes a temple, says conspicione 'for viewing', with regard to where he is to delimit the conspectus 'view' of the eyes."

-Varro, from De Lingua Latina

Thoughts on design. Where to start?

So I'm thinking about this place I'm creating.

This experience...

I've brainstormed and written and brainstormed and written, and then a couple of days ago I decided to draw. I began drawing images that had come to me in my sleep, in my writing, and my daydreaming. I decided to begin my exploration through a detail.

If you detail it, it will come.
