commentary on imagination, creativity and process inspired by Sol Lewitt.In 1969, Sol Lewitt published an article titled "sentences on conceptual art". In the winter of 2017, I set about to write a commentary on each sentence. I wrote roughly one page of handwritten notes for each sentence. In this episode, I read first the Lewitt sentence and then my commentary. In relatively short order, the material becomes part of my ongoing exploration of the imagination; the nature of the creative idea; and my own writing process. show notes for all episodes at http://www.zenglop.net/zenglop/podcast.html
