Matthew Baldwin's Layer 9 Commentary

Penciled In

Looking at this volley, this is what I like to imagine. That in the background he have a cast of potential characters, each just waiting to be written. An author has selected one to begin with, a young girl, and begun her composition. He scrawls the first words of her biography and she becomes more distinct, stands out from the rest. The others look on with a twinge of envy, but they trust that their creation draws near. The author will summon them each in turn.

Not a bad analogy for our match today, really. The creation of a layer is an enterprise unto itself, but each preceding volley serves as a kind of midwife, helping it into the world.

Rod had the serve and thus the penultimate volley; Mitch closes. A bit of a shake-up here, as Rod largely abandons the world of text and returns to pure imagery. Will Mitch adapt and survive, or get thrown off his game?
