Somebody once asked Barry John, one of Wales’s greatest rugby players, how he thought of the moves that he made in a game. John’s reply was that he didn’t think, he just did it. The questioner I believe was someone who saw thinking as an internalised verbal process which was applied to actions – actions premeditated by words. Rugby like all games is bound by rules which liberate its participants’ imaginations. The words that make up the rules are integral to the game but are not the game. One struggle that I have when working is to trust my actions and to forget (about) rules. ‘Sparrow 2’ was done in the light of yesterday’s image and blog post and comments.
