beth again
i am compelled to be honest with you
your work fascinates me. i suppose it’s the subtle sickness to your tone that
both invites me to maintain communication and repels me from you. i feel that i
can say exactly what i want here because i doubt you easily take offense to
anything, perhaps you do but your facade is one of immortality and i choose to
address it.
(i was enraged by your interpretation of my sculpture. you may have a gift of
precise insight but why use it to the depersonalisation of another human. i
felt that your insight best be kept unspoken seeing that it is about something
very real to me… but at the same time i provoked you. i wanted to hear it, and
be made to realise the permeability of life and art that has little connection
but profound significance. why i felt so violated by your presence i have
realised was my own violation of a confrontation much needed.) but
nevertheless, i am not sure into which ‘category’ i fit but i fear it is that
of the young impressionable virgin. i don’t think i’m being terribly articulate
but let’s rephrase things then - yes i am intrigued by a possible collaboration,
yes i’m bored, yes i live in joburg and could probably see you if i wanted to,
yes performance art is a keen interest of mine but no - (maybe i misinterpret
you) but mud sounds suspiciously perverse and i refuse to entertain that to the
greater degree.
although, i would love to harness some of the creative energy that i think i
have but that is being stifled here. i won’t be a stranger, email me again and
let me know what you are thinking.
beth.
