One thing leads to another

Visibility of process is part of my open practice. In this writing I share the process of learning, sharing and creating with the #DS106 Daily Create.

It starts with a creative prompt

a DS106 daily prompt https://daily.ds106.us/tdc5042/

can I respond to a previous prompt – a lonely prompt

leading me down the search path: Find TDCs

but I need to weed out, set boundaries, find –

to find a lonely one from over 3,000 prompts


I search November 2015

now I have 30 create prompts to pick from

I find it...

#tdc1409 Question your teaspoons

has three lonely responses

that piques my curiosity


I read the original prompt

I find the writings by Perec (1973)

I keep reading

adding a new word to my vocabulary

Infra-Ordinary


I question my lovely teaspoon

handle holds childhood memories 

posting the story on Mastodon

I do not wait for a like or response

my teaspoon video sits happy

proud of it's place amongst many others

on the tube of us.

    A nice chain. The Perec is a nice find for me. "The tube of us"!

I'm joining #WalkMyWorld project run by Ian O'Byrne. There is a series of Learning Events coming up and I will use this blog space to respond to that. Week 1 starts by connecting and talking about dialogue. Multimedia and dialogue I have setup a Pixton Comic Classroom. Join link:  https://join.pixton.com/m23g2 .  I'm hoping that others can join in this space and add comics as a way of responding to the Learning Events.

Six Words

Finding six words for a bio or some sort of introduction is harder than you think. In writing my six words I wanted to give a sense of movement and intention. My curiosity has led me in many directions in my career and artistic endeavours. Connections and the ability to connect people together has been a driving force in my career and helps me make sense of the use of technology. Connecting dots is also a reference to reading music. The simple dots on a page, ordered and designed have such a profound affect when interpreted by a musician. It may also refer to lines of sight (you only need two dots to create a straight line) or it may lean toward lines of flight. The dot painting is synonymous with Australian indigenous artworks. Dots that group together and form something magical, larger than the viewer.  Curiosity led adventures.  Connecting the dots.
