State of Drawingness
Journal Entry: Mon Dec 31, 2007, 12:39 AM
"I want the before hand of a book." I just wrote this sentence, but before this sentence, I wrote a hundred others, which I've suppressed, because the moment of cutting short had arrived. It's not me, it's necessity which has cut the text we were on the way to writing. because the text and I, we would continue our way.
"I've learned to tear up nothing of what I write," Clarice Lispector tells me. But then come the time of separation. The time for publication.
I would like so much this unknown untorn page. Everything we read: remains.
I want the forest before the book, the abundance of leaves before the pages, I love the creation as much as the created, no, more. I love the Kafka of the journals, the executioner-victim. I love the process a thousand times more than the Trial process, (no, a hundred times more). I want the tornados in the atelier.
..
.. I want (the arrival) to see arriving.
Acts of birth, potency, and impotency mingled are what I'm passionate about. the to-be-in-the-process of writing or drawing.
..
-When do we draw?
- When we were little. Before the violent divorce between Good and Evil. All was mingled then, and no mistakes. Only desire, trial, and error. Trial, that is to say, error. Error: progression.
As soon as we draw (as soon as, following the pen, we advance in to the unknown, hearts beating, mad with desire) we are little, we do not know, we start out avidly, we are going to lose ourselves.
