Words & Pictures: The Miracle of Artistic Lending and Borrowing*

Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this essay is that of a search: a practitioner’s incursion into the sett ing out, workings and fi nal product as generated by the process of artistic lending and borrowing between writer and artist. This quest and its subsequent questions have been prompted by practice and experience: having produced text for illustrations, having developed and nurtured a working relationship with an illustrator, having found the apparently subliminal textual path into a psychology of the image, having interpreted visual codes and then used these interpretations to decode a narrative, all these have inevitably led to a series of questions about the seemingly mysterious working ways of text reading image.
