La Cosecha Extraña [intro]
Categorized under Cosechas Extrañas | Tags:
TODAY, AS I CULL THE EVER UNPREDICTABLE OCEAN that is this world-wide-woolly wasteland of a web, I find many clever clutterings and clustered clippings clinging to my net! This strange strain of salient, sagacious, absurd and fallacious copy shall come together as a minor list with minor commentary and shall be henceforth known as the La Cosecha Extraña series; The Strange Harvest series.
Abandoning the awkward and annoying alliteration, I suppose the main purpose of this new series will be to discuss, in brief, news items I find interesting but not worth a unique post over. (Although I hate to inject the idea of "worth," in there. I'm sure many topics will be "worth" a bigger post...but just won't get it. I mean, there's only so much time to blog, right?) So it will be sort of like the Del Diario series, but with public topics, not private life content/inner dialogue.
...I can't really explain to you my fascination with this type of branding, or this habit I have of creating proper space for all the various ways I wish to express myself, regarding these different series. Aside from saying that sometimes, when you want to cut loose—as raring to go as you may be—it is advantageous (to the final product and process) to clear space and set up your table first. That's all I can think of. A workshop analogy. Sort of like having proper studio space for each pursuit: clay, metals, paints, etc. Or like taking time to tune your instrument, spread gesso, wash your materials, clean your tools, or spread a dropcloth.... Once you erect a frame within which you want to play, you are free to consider the canvas your stage!
Finally, in this intro to the series, (this post) the image I have used to represent the La Cosecha Extraña series is linked to the original post and artwork from where I swiped it, an announcement for the Chicas de calendarios Mexicanos that every smart citizen wants.
