Page 30 - To know things we have to have the world inside us

“The shadow is different to the object that is creating it.”
“I saw a monster because I didn’t know what had made it.”
“My son on a swing - it looked like he was being hung.
This was a confrontational shadow - it upset me greatly.”
“Can you climb a shadow?”
“My own shadow depends on the material the shadow is on.”
“A textured shadow...
silky, velvety,
yet rough and textured
at the same time.”
The predictive brain is trying to analyse, understand and name what is perceived. When we become aware of
other ways of knowing, imagination is set free, emotions engaged, paradoxes discovered.
We noticed the emotional response to shadows; a playfulness; a place of intersection between body, ideas, the
physical world and light and shadow.
