Imagine

Imagine you took brush or chisel to hand accepting that whatever moved you was the grace of god and that any and all appreciation, understanding, and success ofnthe work was in the provenance of the divine. knut hamsun did not create Johan Nilsson Nagel. it was the other way around. the poisons we carry with us, especially the ones we cannot name, will cast a spell on the canvas, clay or page. the daemon is known by many words and yet he only speaks the language of mystery. there is an actual energy in the emerald portrait...but not for all...adoration,s enlivened by the pulse of money, for leviathan likes his prey looking up, regardless ofmwho takes the hammer to balzac,s hands or the pieta. art is our only transubstantiation.
