Thought Forms
I love annotating books. Irreverently. With diagrams and research notes. When I open a book after months of not touching it, I often laugh, trying to understand what I was thinking at the time.
I opened the 1905 book Thought Forms by Annie Besant and C.W. Leadbeater because I’m working on my drawing instrument research, and I’m trying to include strangeness in the machine. This woo-woo book, relevant to the history of visual abstraction in Western art, is weird. I’ll write more about it later.
What I noticed, though, were the notes I had written a few years ago on the first page: I explain my drawing instrument!
Damaging books is delightful.
