notes on children/the liberated

-oh how we will never know another person truly. -oh the thumbprints on our childhood. -a thumbprint of a past on a thumbprint of a memory.

THINGS ON MY MIND:

SPACES BETWEEN THINGS:

LEADS TO:

A SEEMING NOTHINGNESS, BUT:

I KNOW

THERE IS SOMETHING

UNSAID.

THERE IS SOMETHING

TEEMING

AND BLACK

LIKE A SNAKE

OR SO WHITE

THAT IT IS INVISIBLE.

SILENCE.

SILENCE.

THIN STRINGS THROUGH A ROOM.

CUT BY A DRUMBEAT

AND A HEARTBEAT

AND A LOOK.

SILENCE SILENCE.

THE THINGS LEFT UNSAID:

IMPRINTED ON

THE MEMORY

THE MIND.

THE THINGS LEFT UNSAID:

GHOSTS

AND SMOKE.

EINSTEIN ON THE BEACH:

GENIUS. GENIUS. GENIUS.

Oh Gerard

While I admire Gerard Richter's paintings, lately I've been intrigued by his charcoal drawings. They seem to suggest unknown spaces....the edges of invisible doorways and rooms barely defined. The scribbles and erasures make it seem like these spaces are being broken open...invisible cosmos being cracked. They're so rich in the depth that they suggest by just a few lines. Also, I just found out that he did hundreds of so-called "overpainted photos"--photographs that he painted upon. They seem somehow menacing and the level of mystery is intriguing. Here are just a few of his drawings and overpainted photos:

sorry for the brief abandonment of the blog. My days are filled with assistant directing The Importance of Being Earnest, building shadow puppets, drawing,William Faulkner, and inexplicably Devandra Banhart (the only thing I can listen to while I write long papers about Faulkner) cheers!
