Being wedged between fridge and sink and needing to escape, the "Beam me up Scotty" plea!<br /><br />Helen - I'm never quite sure about the word 'experimental' ( though I did tag it thus for the Collector. Experimental always seems to suggest something unfinished, a thing launched more in hope than expectation. I'd like to think I was in control of this text as any other narrative I write. Yes it's different from the norm, which may make it seem experimental I guess. But I was pursuing my febrile interest in narratives that are both not linear and not beginnings, middles and ends. Other ways of constructing stories, with image at the centre rather than plot. Imagine having a gemstone in your hand and you rotate your wrist so that the light enters all the different facets of the stone and shows off all its differing lustres. That was sort of the effect, by throwing light on different aspects of the same notion, in this case, that of dissolving.Sulci Collectivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03293833259808943096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5179795275664264195.post-52197369095322521022012-12-15T05:50:07.438+00:002012-12-15T05:50:07.438+00:00I'm intrigued by what may have happened during...I'm intrigued by what may have happened during the dissolves between scenes. I do have the sense that this is linear in time, although some of the dissolves cover less time than others.
