'Something is seen, in the mind's eye, in the actual eye - shape and colour and a feeling. For me, two categories: one the imagery that startles from within, quite often material unused in a piece of writing which to claim an available emptiness magically switches medium and appears as image; the other the external image, a flower or whatever, that leaps out and hijacks a little emptiness whose existence, or non-existence, I'd never suspected.'
