when i think about writing a book, i get a bit overwhelmed. i do want to produce some form of a collection this year. it might not be a book with two covers. i've been reading this book "structure of the visual book," by keith smith, if you can find it, read it. he really has his own look on things, on how to structure narrative, in sequence, not linear, and compose a variation of stories within a larger whole. i have an idea of what my book is, but it's very vague at the same time. also, aymeric let me borrow "capacity," by theo ellsworth, which is a graphic novel, a collection of shorter stories, or so it seems, tied together by a larger overarching narrative that glues the stories and moments together. also very inspiring.

Renee: inventory. Aym: cabinet curiosity elitist.

I'm realizing the curiosity cabinet reference isn't correct. It's about the idea of such personal collections for me, the meditative space, the one-on-one relationship with experiences and people. Not the elitist posh aspect of being able to build a room like that in your castle.

Where curiosity lies and curating begins.
