In Tangents

What we remember lacks the hard edge of fact.To help us along we create little fictions,highly subtle and individual scenarios which clarify and shape our experience.The remembered event becomes a fiction,a structure made to accomodate certain feelings.This is obvious to me.If it were'nt for these structures, art would be too personal for the artist to create much less for the audience to grasp.Even film, the most literal of all art forms, is edited.
