Inscriptions (NAT Art Residence- 05/2022)

How to inhabit a territory without centers? With a nomadic gaze I look for signs and stop at the tiny incisions.

A petal becomes skin, a shell that breaks apart in the air. Life and death contained at the same instant. How to punctuate the space to inhabit it? Acorns are grouped into sentences, perhaps paragraphs, with semicolons. They slowly colonize the universe, in an intimate dialogue modeling maps, continents. The one and the multiple.

Random spots of tiny beings inscribing strokes on the surface. Each fungus becomes a cosmos, it links with others shaping a universe without hierarchies.

Intertwined hair furrows the ground, green threads weave a garment.

Narratives always unfinished. I rewrite the space by linking strokes like a frayed fabric to inhabit the folds.
