| Summary: | "In this timely book West describes a technique she calls 'mapping through writing' that encourages visual artists to ask strategic questions, approach problems, and catalyze creative thinking. The book is structured as a series of exercises and prompts that define the mapping process and introduce methods for artists to develop, articulate, and disseminate ideas. Mapping the Intelligence of Artistic Work was edited by Moth Press Director Katarina Weslien. According to Weslien, 'Anne West has cultivated a flexible, non-linear writing approach for the artist-writer. Mapping the Intelligence of Artistic Work introduces multiple skill sets to stimulate creative thinking, raising connections to the surface by creating visual maps of interconnecting links. It is a book supportive of the making process, an invaluable tool for anyone interested in articulating the layers of meaning embedded in the process of making.'"--Publisher's description.
