Waar de natuur haar eigen weg vindt...

Net voor de laatste expositie in Meppel, kreeg ik het idee om deze kleine werken te combineren, en ontstond de “Chaos in theorie”-serie. Hier vind je de eerste drie, de ontbrekende gedeelten komen binnenkort.

“Chaos in theorie”

deel I

deel II

deel III

Werkend van twee kanten

...post ik zoveel mogelijk elke keer zowel oud als nieuw werk. Komen we elkaar in het midden tegen. Hopelijk.

Digitaal werk

2011

40 x 40

Er is een nieuwe serie tekeningen onderweg, op wat groter formaat, 40 x 60, waarvan dit de eerste was. 

En reeds van eigenaar gewisseld.

Bij twijfel... gewoon posten.

Hoewel ik aan de eerste officieel in 1992 begonnen ben, dacht ik dat ik hem in 1993 afgemaakt heb. Doet 't ertoe? Neu, maar 'k wilde een beetje precies zijn. Voor een keertje.

”One day meditation”

The whole operation took only five minutes

One did the shouting

One did the running

And I did the jumping and waved my arms

Highly astonished the sun coloured the beach

when she tried to climb the horizon

Wish I could meditate

for only one day

Would live my life

in twenty-four houres

1992

”Miracles & visions do uccur”

Miracles and visions do occur

as the morning suns’ beams

draw architectural structures

1993

”Noone alive is innocent”

There was a child at the door

and it knew how to knock with a questionmark

Noone alive is innocent

"Am I guilty for laughing?"

the child asked the priest

and he thought a ball of fire

would come from his mouth

Then I saw my finger pointed in the air

My hand closed, needles formed a crown of thorns

Through & through & yet, no blood

Sometimes I'm alive & I see

the world only moves out of habit

& I try to slow down its' speed

Sometimes I wonder

how women put miracles together

I watch & I wonder

I enjoy & I fear

Sommige werken zijn verloren gegaan...

...in een zee van tijd.Eenieder die dit leest, en die een werk van me in bezit heeft dat hij of zij hier niet tussen vindt; stuur me een foto en ik zet het ertussen. En als ik er een gedicht bij geschreven heb, meestal wel, zou het erg leuk zijn als je dat er ook bij zou doen.

”Let’s see…”

I push a cloud into freedom

through the hole in my head

in a soft whispering voice

dreaming words I fed with liquid emotions

this time I quit in time

only half an houre too late

let's meet in heaven afterwards

& see who lived in happiness

to the fullest, to the brim

& see who lived the lowest

the coldest & most dark

& see which one of us has learned the most

& let us shake hands afterwards

when we see that nothing matters

equally to anything, anything at all

1992

(40 x 60)

”I’m sorry we lost touch”

My difficult world

How do you do?

I’m sorry we lost touch

You know how it is in these hasty days

Remembrance takes half the speed out of living

There’s always something

behind my thoughts

asking to be forgiven

or –at least- be reconsidered

1992

(61 x 152)

”Nicht zum Sterben Zeit gehabt”

If the bottle had a trigger

my third eye would soon be real

tumbling down

I’d meet the colourfull waves

I wouldn’t even have time to flashback

Is death time, holding pace?

Or is death

when time stops

without letting me know?

Naast de zoektocht naar het juiste beeld...

...wordt er ook stevig gewerkt aan de juiste woorden. Niet om te verduidelijken. Verre van dat.

”The end of winter”

It’s cold and white

and the horizon dances around

in a wide, wide circle

and doesn’t seize to tease

From the dark, grey sky

come the white, white flakes

and my chill reaches the ground,

simultaneously and just as silent

If spring’s gonna start here

I swore I’d take it like a man

or like a flower

and drink the melting snow

And what I imagine to be

an arm around my shoulder

will be

gently falling rain

1991

oil on canvas

(40x50)

”I touch, I stroke, I feel”

The deafening silence thunders,

has her wings spread over my wings and sings

She sings between my fingers,

her thoughts hang on my shoulders for now

I touch her briefly

stroke her kindly

I feel her warmth from within

The darkness on a horse is in here

It shouts no words

It screams no sounds

Invisible for the eye in daylight

Not to be mentioned in a motionless night

I touch her briefly

stroke her kindly

I feel her warmth from within

1991

”The thought”

One day one of the dices will explode

on a round table, making music disappear

I captured a thought in a bell below the ceiling

Could do nothing more than open a window

& hope it was all & would be forever

I know the feeling was mutual

The thought loved to leave me behind

and independently fill another sky

Nog immer opnieuw het wiel uitvindende...

”To all of your commands I obey,

who made your world

and created your life

To all of my commands you obey,

who wander through my world

and live all of my lives”

1990

Verkocht.

Moet ik even op terugkomen, want ik ben de titel kwijt... Olieverf op iets ongelovelijk hards.

Verkocht trouwens.

”So be it, coffee spilled over broken wishes”

Well both in the flesh

needed abstract utilities

Invisible in the hugh, high hall

was the man with the lamp

I walked right through him

as I once did before

So be it, coffee spilled over broken wishes

My island floats,

I feel secure

Between this winters’ pearls

I take my humble bow

1990

oil on plywood

(75 x 88)

De roemruchte jaren '90 staan voor de deur.

”Absurd rain”

Whispered sentences through the park

Thought them making sense

in absurd rain

Small sounds suggesting silence

The grey grassland is wrinkling its’ skin

humoured by the noisy speed of youth

1990

oil on projection-screen

(42 x 74)

Deze is begonnen in dezelfde Kibbutz, Gesher Haziv, samen met een Deense mede-volunteer, en later, allerlei vreemde landen later, thuis afgemaakt.

”At times I sniff reality”

At times I sniff reality

At times, when you’re discribing

this world to me,

I long to see it

At times I fantasise a two steps further,

turn my back

& whisper words of soothing to the past

Deaf as it looks through me in future

I twirl in present

Find no grip

in has been or will be

”Why compliment her with the beauty of her skin”

Freedom is in naked shoulders

Sometimes in just bare feet

What I want to do lies behind tomorrow

A night, a barrier to overcome,

smooth and easy and like a dream

Nothing interests me more

than the mood that’ll hold my hands

& I hope I can put them on my belly

and make them smile to what’s in there
