This Is How It Goes No.1-No.4
Listen as I take you there.
We await our departure, calm, open and receptive.
I shall now count from 1 to 10. On the count of 10
you will be in Utopia.
ONE
We find ourselves in a quiet corner somewhere.
TWO
Fresh foreign landscapes pass by in a gentle warm
breeze on a dark night.
THREE
The space around us expands, time becomes flexible.
FOUR
There are ever greater distances all around us. We
can feel secure about our position. Feel who we
are with no hinderance or pressure. There is no
economy or society here anymore.
FIVE
Take in this nocturnal state of bare intoxication.
SIX
Take in the strange perspectives of this constantly
transforming landscape.
SEVEN
We revisit marshy bogs where life first bubbled
forth. Where cheap plastics have long melted back
into their original oily components.
EIGHT
Absorb into the landscape.
NINE
I fade, leaving you, now a merry company of one.
On your own mental count of ten you would have
found Utopia. Be there at ten.
TEN.
Artist's Bio:
The urban environment provides the stimulus which connects memories, imagination, history and geography. My drawings are of monuments, ruins and traces of stories presented in virtually empty landscapes.
I depict worlds of no social responsibility and of no economic pressure, where one can be free to have clear thought. A similar state of Utopian thought, which is gained by shutting oneself off in an artist’s studio. I enjoy discovering the alienation which runs through the heart of Romanticism.
