The pleasures of sight...
"The pleasures of sight have one characteristic in common -they take you by surprise. They are sudden, swift and unexpected. If one tries to prolong them, recapture them or bring them about wilfully their purity and freshness is lost. They are essentially enigmatic and elusive. One can stare at a landscape, for example, which a moment ago seemed vibrant and find it inert and dull -so one cannot say that this lively quality of sight is simply "out there in nature" or easily available to be commanded as wished. Nor is it a state of mind which once acquired can bend the most stubborn and unrewarding aspect of external reality to its own purposes. It is neither one nor the other but a perfect balance between the two, between the inner and the outer."
(Bridget Riley)
The encounter
All the while they were talking the new morality
Her eyes explored me.
And when I arose to go
Her fingers were like the tissue
of a Japanese paper napkin.
(Ezra Pound)
Is that so?
I am currently working on a book of drawings I have made during a few weeks in the summer.
The book will be designed by Astrid Seme Studio (Vienna) and produced at the
Charles Nypels Lab of the Jan Van Eyck Academie, (Maastricht, NL).
