Leaving the studio at Wasps

Leaving a lot more than a studio, and this was a lot more than a hobby.

Do we always have to fight?

Summer

There are two people in me now. One is before the 4th October, and the other is after 4th October… the latter is belligerent, and more assertive.

Eleven or Twelve? Asked Peter Brook.

In this old painting below, Arjuna is completely at an impasse in his life. The sand is the only thing that he moves, his weapons having been put to rest for twelve years.

Arjuna, in 1999
Arjuna, 10,000 arrows – 1999

In the next, more recent painting (January 2021), Arjuna has recovered his weapons, and a bird comes to see him. The bird is descending upon Arjuna (holy spirit-like) to impart some instructions.

To those who were there for me, with me.

An erc’h war an enezeg (Snow on the Archipelago)

A poem from Brittany by Maodez Glanndour

Hag-eñ eo diskennet en noz.
Elerc’h gwenn-kann an hanternoz.
Hag e kouskont er mor, morzet,
Pleget o fenn didan o fluñv.
 
N’eo ket elerc’h, an erc’h
A zo kouezhet askellek en enezeg.
N’eus en aber met rec’hier
A huñvre kuvñ dindand o fluñv.

Sneachda thairis air na h-eileanan

An d’rainig na h-ealachean bàn bhon tuath

Aig an àm-sa a’ cadal air a mhùir, liabhach, san aigeal.

A’ sgaoileadh an sgiathan farsaing

An ceann a’ lubadh fon clòimh

Chan e ealachan, ach sneachda mìn

A tuiteam air an sgiath air na h- eileanan.

Anns an fhearsad, tha na creagan a’ bruadar

Gu socair, fon iteach, fon clòimh

(my translation)
