The vogue is to freewrite
Is it the content or rather the look of a message that speaks? During this freewrite we will take a linguistic look at face and a fashionable look at clothing, to be prompted to our own artistic exploration of appearances. Count on research by Brown, Levinson and Lakoff (a.o.), and on Anne Sexton's red reading dress.Virginia Woolf would sign off invitations with "Bring no clothes”, yet my invite says: yes, bring your dress, so we can stitch down words and feelings on your own favourite garment!
