8 pages A5 portrait size contribution to artist VISPO book on which artists have influenced you in your life: I choose Henri Michaux, each page connected with letter of his name and a quote I translated from the French
Drugs bore us with their promised paradise.
That they give us wisdom instead because we are not living
a century away from paradise.
Henri Michaux
Once I was a word that tried to move with the speed of thought
Henri Michaux
I started drawing to liberate myself from words
Henri Michaux
In the night in the night I was one with the night
in a night without limits in the night
Henri Michaux
It is wrong to think that thought can be expressed by words.
They are not satisfactory ways of expressions!
Gestures, mime, sounds, lines and colors,
those are primitive, pure and direct ways of expression.
Henri Michaux
Draw without any particular intention,
doodle machinewise,
almost always faces appear on paper
Henri Michaux
Mankind, look to yourself in the mirror of paper
Henri Michaux
Faces of childhood, faces that do not believe
that everything is solved by the passage to becoming adult
Henri Michaux
