Frances to Armando and William on artistic creativity... 

There is it seems a tactic or technic used by artists in making a
pictorial depiction, be the representational picture a "pure"
formal abstraction or a "real" referential concretization, and
either in progress or in finality. The tack entails (1) rotating
the work say upside down or (2) reflecting the work say in a
mirror or (3) repeating the work in duplication. This is
presumably done in the main by the artist to correct errors seen
in the work. The sensed weight of colors in shapes seen in the
work that seem to violate some aspect of gravity may then
stimulate changes to be made. The process of rotation or
reflection or repetition that shows a possible violation of
gravity in the work would seem to evoke some irritating
frustration in the artist. If some betterment by chance is
accidentally revealed by these tactics and technics, then the
original intent of the artist would likely be altered, regardless
of their resistance to change or insistence on choice. The sense
of even only implied gravity in works likely impacts on all
artists and designers and crafters. My motive and objective here
is to try and see if these things do impact especially on the
architect, in the plan or process or product of their project,
because it is my tentative stand that making preparatory pictural
drafts and contributory sculptural models is necessary to making
consummatory tectural constructs. The architectural finality
would be a combinatory visual art of some kind resulting from
this tern or trident.
