Occasionally I surprise myself intent on an absurd occupation: doing sums. Yet strangely + e + e + - e nevertheless is always zero. (+++ = 0)
(From Marina Cvetaeva’s ‘Notebooks’)
Writing to then erase, and having thought deeply about that which one then erases!
(From Stendhal’s ‘Journal’, Civitavecchia, 12 May 1834)
I will never stop. Every day I touch the canvas of the “Infinite Painting” with my brush. One gesture every day. One layer after another, each layer on top of the other. Declaring itself, each colour eliminates the preceding one. A continuous affirmation, a continuous cancellation that pushes inexorably towards oblivion.
