Abstract

The creative idea of this thesis did not start with a definitive theme. Instead, an appreciation of the modern Irish poets inspired the process. A creative endeavor has translated a bricolage of unconscious memories into a dream like flow of language. The visualization of dreams and the exploration of language measured in words, has become my muse. I like to let language shape itself from a visual realization inside the creative process and to whittle through words to breathe life into the asynchronous sound of dreams. Most of this reconstruction is drawn from dormant memories. The journey has allowed me to dig down as if in an archeological site (of the mind) and use language in arbitrary words that come to express a subjective meaning. Transposing this to a more objective meaning will often result in an analytic conclusion. These conclusions are personal observations stemming from the root of the first flash of memory. The title suggests movement in a slow pattern that is often the way dreams occur. The result makes the journey that more imperative to reach a conclusion. At moments there is a repetition of the words, and that is what gives the bricolage substance if not theme. The journey has offered me a personal gift of time to slow down and grasp the essence of life. It is my hope that the reader will join my metaphorical caravan to find a dig of one's own in this creative language.
