Metamorphose. An object is cut off from its name, habits, associations. Detached, it becomes only the thing, in and of itself. When this disintegration into pure existence is at last achieved, the object is free to become endlessly anything.

Catherine de Barra, you've murdered my thinkin'
Gave you my heart, you left the thing stinkin'
I'd shake from your spell if it weren't for my drinkin'
The wind bites more bitter with each light of mornin'
I envy the road, the ground you tread under
I envy the wind, your hair riding over […]

There’s only this life, this light
on earth; there’s no darkness or death.
We’re all already on the seashore,
and I’m one of those who hauls in the nets
when immortality swims past a shoal.
[Arseni Tarkovski].

Within the dusk, in the invisible of darkness, our primitive fears and core emptiness are revealed. Within the dusk, within the swish of the night, the endless surrounding and the pure fullness of being are enhanced. (2024).

I am very happy because I am going to set up an exhibition of my emulsion lifts in may. I also organize a little observation game for the participants and was thinking about a reward. I just carved and print a linocut inspired by the picture used for the exhibition poster and will give them as rewards.
