thank you, anna! means a lot to hear that from you... i wish it were easier to talk in images - pictures flowing from our mouths - but seeing as we've created this thing called language, might as well learn to use it to the fullest
i had a conversation in images with a friend was amazing images are very broadband even when we draw them clumsily maybe even more so then... immediate expression...
dreamy words are too poetic language ... arise from soul heart
we encircle with vague ... your words are very telling to me
a great idea that i will tuck away for future use! yes, yes, yes - more pulling from the inward spiral with our images & our dreamy words & our true expressions it's the combination of these that creates a new language something that moves toward the heart of things
recently, i wrote a paper on poet lucille clifton - she spins her words in ways that never cease to amaze me she understands this language, as many artists do in one way or another. anyhow our conversations remind me of a poem she wrote... from the perspective of her husband as he moves from life to death
the death of fred clifton 11/10/84 age 49
i seemed to be drawn to the center of myself leaving the edges of me in the hands of my wife and i saw with the most amazing clarity so that i had not eyes but sight, and, rising and turning, through my skin, there was all around not the shapes of things but oh, at last, the things themselves.

especially the last four lines... that grasp of intangibility...
lieber peter vielen dank für deinen besuch hier und deine freundlichen worte! ich hab grad einen ersten kurzen spaziergang durch deine gallerie gemacht und sie gefällt mir sehr... sehr anregend weisst du auch dein journaleintrag spricht mich an... siehst du für mich ist das immer so ein thema zwischen professionell und bildender kunst und amateurhaftigkeit (amateur = liebender) usw und das finden wir hier ungeheuer stark diese stücke, eindrücke, entwicklungen aus menschen heraus ihren wünschen, ihren hoffnungen, ihren leidenschaften... natürlich auch ihren ängsten, ihrer einsamkeit usw
Ja Anna, was soll ich sagen... dies ist wirklich sehr lieb von dir, und auch ich danke dir für deine tiefsinnigen Worte! Es ist schön, auf Menschen wie dich, hier zu treffen und es freut mich besonders, dass dir meine Arbeiten gefallen - bei euch ist ja wohl mehr Sonne, weniger bunte gefallene Blätter... - also ich danke dir von Herzen! Ganz liebe Grüße, Peter*
you easily translate image into word
and show how your inspiration is in writing
(in various ways)
i like see

was amazing
images are very broadband
even when we draw them clumsily
maybe even more so then...
immediate expression...
dreamy words are too
poetic language
...
arise from soul heart
we encircle with vague
...
your words are very telling to me
yes, yes, yes - more pulling from
the inward spiral
with our images & our dreamy words &
our true expressions
it's the combination of these that creates
a new language
something that moves toward the heart of things
recently, i wrote a paper on poet lucille clifton - she spins her words
in ways that never cease to amaze me
she understands this language, as many artists do in one way or another.

i seemed to be drawn
to the center of myself
leaving the edges of me
in the hands of my wife
and i saw with the most amazing
clarity
so that i had not eyes but
sight,
and, rising and turning,
through my skin,
there was all around not the
shapes of things
but oh, at last, the things
themselves.

... yes wandering

wish you beautiful friday!
vielen dank für deinen besuch hier und deine freundlichen worte!
ich hab grad einen ersten kurzen spaziergang
durch deine gallerie gemacht
und sie gefällt mir sehr... sehr anregend weisst du
auch dein journaleintrag spricht mich an...
siehst du
für mich ist das immer so ein thema
zwischen professionell und bildender kunst und amateurhaftigkeit (amateur = liebender)
usw
und das finden wir hier ungeheuer stark
diese stücke, eindrücke, entwicklungen aus menschen heraus
ihren wünschen, ihren hoffnungen, ihren leidenschaften...
natürlich auch ihren ängsten, ihrer einsamkeit
usw
ich wünsch dir gute herbsttage!
