Clarity Ink, wash & pen 2013 |
I am a great admirer of the painter Agnes Martin . Her quiet paintings and spare words speak volumes. The following is an excerpt from "Writings"- a rare series of essays written in the sixties.
"The ocean is deathless
The islands rise and die
Quietly come, quietly go
A silent swaying breath
The islands rise and die
Quietly come, quietly go
A silent swaying breath
I wish the idea of time would drain out of my cells
and leave me quiet even on this shore". A Martin
The further I look into Space, the farther away I move from the madding crowd.....
