Time for Chardonnay/ čas na Chardonnay

View On Black


noci jsou bez vína dlouhé ... (a dobré víno je jako žena)

ANDRÉ BRETON (1896-1966)
Volná láska

Má žena s kšticí hořícího lesa
S myšlenkami žárných blesků
S pasem přesýpacích hodin
Má žena s pasem vydry mezi tygřími zuby
Má žena s ústy jako kokarda a kytice hvězd největší velikosti
Se zuby otisků bílé myšky na bílé zemi
S jazykem hlazené ambry a broušeného skla
Má žena s jazykem probodené hostie
S jazykem panenky která otvírá a zavírá oči
S jazykem neobyčejného démantu
Má žena s řasami dětského hůlkového písma
S obočím okraje vlaštovčího hnízda
Má žena se spánky z břidlicové střechy skleníku
A páry na oknech
Má žena s rameny ze šampaňského vína
A z pramene z delfíních hlav pod ledem
Má žena se zápěstím zápalek
Má žena s prsty náhody a srdcového esa
S prsty koseného sena
(…)
Má žena se stehny jako labutí šíje
Má žena se stehny jara
S pohlavím mečíků
Má žena s pohlavím zlatého ložiska a ptakopyska
Má žena s pohlavím vodní řasy a bonbónů ze starých časů
Má žena s pohlavím zrcadla
Má žena s očima plnýma slzí
S očima fialového brnění a magnetické střelky
Má žena s očima savany
Má žena s očima vody k pití ve vězení
Má žena s očima stromů stále pod sekyrou
S očima hladiny vody hladiny vzduchu země a ohně

Freedom of love by Andre Breton
(Translated from the French by Edouard Rodti)

My wife with the hair of a wood fire
With the thoughts of heat lightning
With the waist of an hourglass
With the waist of an otter in the teeth of a tiger
My wife with the lips of a cockade and of a bunch of stars of the last magnitude
With the teeth of tracks of white mice on the white earth
With the tongue of rubbed amber and glass
My wife with the tongue of a stabbed host
With the tongue of a doll that opens and closes its eyes
With the tongue of an unbelievable stone
My wife with the eyelashes of strokes of a child's writing
With brows of the edge of a swallow's nest
My wife with the brow of slates of a hothouse roof
And of steam on the panes
My wife with shoulders of champagne
And of a fountain with dolphin-heads beneath the ice
My wife with wrists of matches
My wife with fingers of luck and ace of hearts
With fingers of mown hay
My wife with armpits of marten and of beechnut
And of Midsummer Night
Of privet and of an angelfish nest
With arms of seafoam and of riverlocks
And of a mingling of the wheat and the mill
My wife with legs of flares
With the movements of clockwork and despair
My wife with calves of eldertree pith
My wife with feet of initials
With feet of rings of keys and Java sparrows drinking
My wife with a neck of unpearled barley
My wife with a throat of the valley of gold
Of a tryst in the very bed of the torrent
With breasts of night
My wife with breasts of a marine molehill
My wife with breasts of the ruby's crucible
With breasts of the rose's spectre beneath the dew
My wife with the belly of an unfolding of the fan of days
With the belly of a gigantic claw
My wife with the back of a bird fleeing vertically
With a back of quicksilver
With a back of light
With a nape of rolled stone and wet chalk
And of the drop of a glass where one has just been drinking
My wife with hips of a skiff
With hips of a chandelier and of arrow-feathers
And of shafts of white peacock plumes
Of an insensible pendulum
My wife with buttocks of sandstone and asbestos
My wife with buttocks of swans' backs
My wife with buttocks of spring
With the sex of an iris
My wife with the sex of a mining-placer and of a platypus
My wife with a sex of seaweed and ancient sweetmeat
My wife with a sex of mirror
My wife with eyes full of tears
With eyes of purple panoply and of a magnetic needle
My wife with savanna eyes
My wife with eyes of water to he drunk in prison
My wife with eyes of wood always under the axe
My wife with eyes of water-level of level of air earth and fire


Bael (in progress)

Bael (in progress)

2009
Ink wash and quill on unstretched canvas
Approx. 69 x 55 inches

This is one of the largest images I've ever done and was definitely a big step forward. It still isn't finished, however; I've been busy! Anyway, it was based on an engraving done for the section about Baal in Colin De Plancy's Dictionnaire Infernal. I used Barney Frank's face for a reference since he's really jowly and his voice was the first thing to come to mind when I read Bael's voice is, according to earwitnesses, very hoarse.

This drawing still isn't finished, but I did want to share. What you see here took place over about a month's time a few hours each day. I hope to finish it by the middle of next year and share the final product, but I make no promises!

Hand Jive/ Dancing Text

Hand Jive/ Dancing Text

Okay. More of a wave than a whimper. One small step/act of creation. A Not-so-Big Bang!
But the letters danced against interpretation, against the tendency to remain at rest. The
wave that broke the stasis. The plough that broke the plane of in=difference. A loco-
motion that made the text sing, dance and finally phone home.

A wind is rising and the river flows.

Accelerando, allargando. Motor cooled down. The tide rose, and the wave
stirred, however metaphorically, more than the still waters of 21st century passivity. Like a wave that is made wildly while running into the madding crowd: Ooop shoop, Da Doo Ron Ron. Bang, Bang, shoot-shoot. Good golly, Miss Molly!

Breton would've understood.

It is living and ceasing to live that are imaginary solutions. Existence is elsewhere.

sich selbst.
