MUTATION 03

Dear Anna

Sorry it's so late in the day. Today's drawing was hard work, and not completley satisfactory. My health is not good, the heat is a lot to bear. There is a lesson here... I have yet to understand it.

Speak tomorrow

WORDS

Hello dear Anna,

How are you feeling?

'Words', a new series of images, an attempted quest at sharing and gifting a synthesis between various intentions when they appear.

It follows the previous drawings- 'Letters', as a natural process.

Dear Anna

I've come to the end of the Hebrew alphabet, all 22 letters.
It has felt as if each drawing is a prayer, an incantation; an alchemical mix of sounds, collage and drawing.

Each message takes 4-5 hours to complete, there are times while I make that I have to pause to take a breath, for as the impulse moves through me I feel the history of each letter vibrate.

I don't know what is next.

Have a lovely evening,

NUN

 "NUN, The fish, one of the 12 simple letters."

Drawing here is a discipline that requires effort. I am being pushed to work without expectations, making without a plan. The constant use of the same format, the same shape, is both familiar and yet challenging. There is an order to it, a ritual. What will happen once I've used up all the Hebrew letters of the alphabet. Where will I travel next?

These are alcehmical drawings, leading me on, taking me somewhere.

Dear Anna

Reaching image 9, journeying towards 10 or rather 1 “yod” new departure!

Questioning what is nourishing, acquisition or transmission? Always a gift …

4- DALET: door.
4 is a stop signal, at the same time an opening to liberation. Also, 'Dag’ fish.

“I still believe that the primary commerce of art is a GIFT exchange, that unless the work is a realisation of the artist’s gift and unless we the audience can feel the gift it carries there is no art".     (Hyde, 1979)
Good Sunday dear Anna,

Thanks for following the momentum.

No. 3,  One and Three are inseparable. The word Gimel in Hebrew adds to 3+40+30 =73 reduced to 1 The letter Gomel-The camel followed the Hebrews in the desert.
Mercury in Alchemy.

Have a very good evening,

Hi dear Anna,

IMAGE 1
 
From 0 the Fool stepping into the unknown.

Guided by the I Ching instagram 3 “Sprouting” ZHUN how cool is that!
“Sprouting is the beginning of new being, the renewal of time." It is the Mulberry or sun tree.

Until tomorrow, stay well.
