“[The human soul] No-one can see it whole. The best of us catch a glimpse of a nose, a shoulder, something turning away […]”. (V. Woolf, letter to Gerald Bernan, 1922).
“There’s no body that doesn’t carry within it its own death.” (L. Ravera, Piangi pure).
White. Skin.
Ink, stain, shape. The moment.
Silk, light, ghost.
Sky, air.
Breath. Dream.
Sea shell mermaid. Sand.
Water waves perfume.
Butterfly flower. Moth. Light.
Moon night darkness. Sleep. Death.
Life.
Mother, daughter, woman.
Light secret.
Silence.
Drawing is like embroidering the past. I collect objects, words, visions. I rework them. I recreate a story in my mind. Drawing allows me to relive it. And then to narrate it.
