This project began by selecting from the very poetic language of the chapter titles and section headings from James J. Gibson’s book, The Senses Considered as Perceptual Systems, 1966. The selection of these titles was intended to form a poem in the cento tradition; using lines of an existing work to create a new one. The patterns were created in response to Gibson’s writing on sensation/perception. The project was developing during the chaotic year of 2020 and became a meditation on the events of that year and what followed.
