To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying amen to what the world tells you you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive.    Years ago I helped a friend decorate her apartment. She needed a base for her Queen size mattress, so we visited a local carpenter who sold furniture on a street corner. When she saw one of the bed frames on display, she asked, "Is this size Queen or King?" to which he answered in a charming indigenous accent: "Yes, that’s a Quing." 
The Three Quings will soon be in my online shop.  Drawing 8. Twelve Ways to Wear a Crown. Silver ink on paper. 100 Days 100 Drawings Series.  Drawing 7. Viennese Snakes. Silver ink on paper. 100 Days 100 Drawings Series. Have you ever had a moment where you're so completely present that time stops and you become part of existence? I remember one years ago. I was in a swimming pool and was leaning against the edge to feel the warm sun on my face, when a large orange wasp landed in front of me. I stared at her, first to see if she would attack, but then with intense curiosity. Suddenly, the entire world disappeared and only she and I remained, observing each other, coexisting in time and space. I’m no longer afraid of wasps.      Drawing 5. Snakes (we are all unique). Silver ink on paper. 100 Days 100 Drawings Series. An artist friend told me that she only looks to modern and contemporary art for inspiration. This surprised me because I thought everyone was fascinated by ancient art. I have always been. Growing up, I had no access to public libraries, there was no internet, and bookstores were expensive, so my visual input was limited to what we had at home. Fortunately my mother had a collection of books on African, Oceanic and Pre-Hispanic art, which I devoured. What I saw was rudimentary and incredibly sophisticated. I’m still captivated by ideas reduced to their essential forms, and by the feeling that moves us to create. The combination of what we have seen and imagined, captured by the skill of our hands, will never cease to amaze me.     |
