To condense the essential through simple signs. My
longing for such expression is unredeemed. Children find in scribbling
natural in ‘their’ realization. Each line, each figuration is transformed
permanently and develops into countless tales. It is not easy to revert back
to this natural innocence. Plenty of theoretical orders are intruding, seize
and hamper the gambling hand. This subconscious ‘learned’ resistance I wish
to overcome.
Automatic and left-handed drawing helps me to avoid transmitting true copies,
to break out of the ‘academic’ paradigm. Henry Miller: The left hand is
the visionary.
Such practice asks to accept as well seeming nothingness, not to measure
with common standards. The line is not explaining a greater whole, but
rather, it is enclosing a momentary state of mind, nurtured by sediments of
life. There is no question about the form, but what it is sheltered in –
queries and answers of life. The figure points towards a possible, maybe
unorthodox truth, facing another kind of language.
