The painter does not paint on a virgin canvas.
The writer does not write on a blank page.
The page or the canvas are already covered over with pre-existing, pre-established cliches. (habits of sight & habits of thought).
The cliches must be scraped away to find a singular vital space of possibility.
For cliche is precisely what prevents the genesis of an image.
(just as opinion & convention prevent the genesis of thought).
