I usually start by writing. Not because I'm planning to make a piece. I write because it's how I express the things I can't easily say out loud. The image comes later. The image doesn't arrive all at once. A word becomes a shape. A feeling becomes a color. An idea slowly becomes something I can see. I don't force that part. I let it happen when it's ready. Nothing ends up in a piece by accident. If something stays, it's because it belongs. Not because it looks beautiful. But because it helps say something I couldn't say in any other way.
