Or ideas for seeing. And possibly ideas for reading. I like to draw when I take notes this is faster for me than writing, and a drawing has a certain immediacy. They become an unexplained graph of sorts. Drawing diagrams and visual analogies during reading helps me to remember and discover connections I am making while reading.
Actual text assumes a material weight, and matters just as much as the drawings it associates with.
I have tried experimenting with the malleability of words, using words as materials, equal to paper, equal to ink, tape, glue and equal to the drawings. If words repeated, I let them. I would try to imitate the style of the writer I was reading, either by using the same emphasis on certain words, the sentence patterns, the mood, and the subject matter. A shape could become a pattern, like a pattern in text. I let fonts influence.
