Another wonderful piece of writing to describe another wonderful piece. The making of a piece is what I enjoy the most and there is always a certain storyline I must go through to get to the finish. Most of that story is just me fumbling in the dark, hoping it will be pulled together in the end. Certain times there is doubt in my skills or ways of expressing an idea. But for me, this process, of not being in control and feeling that every piece is my first piece is what I live for.
(I write all this knowing you have seen my latest post and I just wanted to let you know that that piece is not an example of what I mean. That piece was just a rush to get everything done on a project I didn't feel too passionate about).
your work is stunning and makes me bend my brain to try and understand what I'm looking at. The lighting and photographic quality should make this easier but No and this process of trying to decipher is both pleasurable and upsetting. The one word that jumps to mind is 'Carnal'
I read you many days ago and you generated a joy in me that I tell you was a little fire of light in that darkness I was in. Thank you. And I didn't answer you because of what I put in my last post. There are answers that should not be made lightly. One should devote the time and attention to them that their interlocutor deserves.
I think that over time my work has become a little easier to interpret, or maybe I think so because what I want to say is more brutal and the image that arises from that need is just as brutal as what I want to say. I don't know, I think I'm writing without properly analyzing what I'm telling you....
I think about how difficult it is to work on projects that we are not very passionate about. I think I have tried it only once and I haven't succeeded. It's an exercise that must leave a lot of learning, I imagine, right?
The word "carnal" could be placed in many of the texts that would accompany many of my works. I think it is very accurate 🙂
