 The
beginning
I
was not born in the sea, I was born in October, and with autumn's
inertia I compare the images in the shapes with the certainty of
the drawing.
These asseverations liquefy the memory, and contradict the school
principle of all beginning. The academic studies are only testimonials
of temptations, talisman of yearnings: happy yawn of the past. I
look for the astonishment, the perplexity of the origin; multiple
silences; the hug of the mystery, the flirtation of the echo.
The dance of the shapes in the immobile line. The act of drawing,
the speech of sight is in the ceremony of the pleasure...
The light is heard everywhere, shades of the contours: sinister
ruse of the drawing.
The line is the topic, hair of the profanation: I banish of the
dark clearing.
The color is humidity, lunch of the line: surface. To compose is
the demolition of the space. Irregular plateau of the walls.
Pulsation of the hands in the rhythm, Idleness of the wind: purification
of the exile.
These games of the words (lust of the fire) they don't try to explain
a plastic work, but only to give way to the copulation of the murmurs.
