Synapses


"It may be, that the deep necessity of art is the examination of self-deception." ~ Robert Motherwell 

currents ricocheting off
each other; contriving,
tearing down, passing
information, rewiring,

multiplying and dying.
the survival tics,
creating the deceptions
reality fits.

  1. What an interesting Motherwell quote. And maybe from that examination, some truth of the artist emerges?

  3. One of the things I seem to be learning is to look closely at any self-deception. It isn't always easy, but the rewards are great! :) Very interesting last two lines....
