MY COMMENTARIES

I have written about my work in the past; and I've written verse to accompany many of my pieces since the 1960's. Much of it is lost or has never been made public. In the last few years I have begun to include my writing with new work on my website. I am also reflecting now on older pieces that I feel can benefit from my explanations or the inclusion of the verse or poem that I originally wrote to compliment the ideas I was tackling. Some explanations are edited originals from past years. Others are new or recollected reflections on the meaning of older work. It has been interesting for me to re-exam my motives and motivations for pieces I did ten, twenty and thirty years ago. In some ways I feel more open, now, and certainly more willing to articulate my views.
This verbal initiative, is open to your comments. I hope these writings stimulate response and I would love to have your thoughts about my thoughts? fw@frankwilliams.ru
