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.

Tomorrow there's a full moon. Lighting the way.

“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. 
3 - the letter Gimel: germination and water in the desert. The 1 and the 3 are inseparable.

Until tomorrow, stay well.

The beginning.

Inspired by the Letters of Fire and Alchemy.
Not knowing the way. Following the journey of the Fool?
A process of discovery, of being of service to an experiment free of expectations. A pilgrimage of potential.
Starting with a white sheet of paper.
An attempt to find daily creative innocence.
Language of the Birds or Argot often involves double meaning.
The principle of undoing involves :  
  1. Not focusing on uniqueness or originality
  2. Released form the burden of the financial implication
  3. Preciousness   
  4. The gift as witness.
