I want to bring sentences from the story into my own work. I have looked at a variety of way to do this and there are a couple of questions I need to ask myself:

- How will I write these words? Will I use handwriting, collage, graphics, printmaking?
- Colour – should I use colours that compliment the tones in the composition or stick to neutral colours such as black and white
I will be working through these questions by experimentation on paper.
