Glimpses II

here it is, on my working table!

The test seems going very well and so it is ready for the print.

In a few weeks it will be available in Milano, Bellinzona

and online as well.

I'm so happy, because it seems that the firsts hands which touched it

are very pleased too, about this second creature of mine!

 it is quite shy and it couldn't help but hide behind the little branch

it feels far more at ease in the woods, like a fox...

in paper and ink...

the print-test is on its way,

we are really very very close to

Glimpses II, in paper and ink!

Glimpses II

Glimpses II

un assaggio...

in the mountain, among the trees, and the branches,

in the dark among the branches at dawn or dusk, 

the silence is full of the delicate tiny sounds of the life around us.

Invisible creatures, if you are just passing by. 

But if you stop a little, you'll start to see...

faint images & deep memories

Glimpses II, pieces...

sketches, feelings, lichen

some kind of faint images and deep memories together

. quite ready for the print-test .

remembrance of a fox

A little snow tonight, just to see some white around,

and more than ever this fox remind me the evenings at the window, 

in Zurich, waiting for the fox to come and stroll around in the white 

of the field - a magic appearence - leaving faint, almost invisible 

footprints  and disappear in the dark shadow of a bush

the waiting ...

as the time between an apparition and another

collapsed in some kind of eternity

( Glimpses II )

an expression for the inexpressible

coming back to the drawings, putting pieces together,

and resuming the feelings I felt in that very moment,

that was - that is - as something without time...

and trying to find 'an expression for the inexpressible'

. . .

"Time has become once more that light-footed and

invisible procession, making its way through being."

(Sylvain Tesson)

behind the white

There's a lot of images in this blog, and few words. 

I would like now to tell something about what I did, 

what it is that lies behind the pencil and the colours, 

and expecially behind the white.

"Glimpses" is something caught from the corner of the eyes - and ears.

Something that remains. A memory of the wood, not just a wood,

but different woods, the woods where I usually go for a walk - and every woods.
It is that very moment in which you stop, motionless, looking at the rustle,

every sense sharpened in endless seconds, waiting for something to happen.

Something maybe will appear, or will not, not at the eyes. And sometimes

you come in touch with that "something" in a kind of auditive way,

not less intense than sight, and something magic is stuck in your memory,

forever...

This project is quite different from my usual kind of artworks because it is born

in a different way. It is born from the idea of the "memories". I start drawing

bringing to light my memories of some instants, the nearest and the ones afar

in time, and in space too, memories of evening walks and moments spent

in places I love. I worked in a messy way, with different techniques, trying

to put together what was important for me.

When it was the time to start composing the puzzle, and define the first leporello,

it became clear to me that I wouldn't leave the drawing as they are, because

the images were just crystallized instants, but the thought - the memory - has not

a linear shape, it doesn't cut off "pure" fragments; I think it works more in a multitude

of layers, not sharply overlying. And it is as if these layers of memories slip one above

the other, with the flow of time, and so some of them will go missing in the depth,

others will remain in surface, because they are more linked with emotions.

This is what I tried to do, this is "Glimpses I".
