I’m flying off towards the new year and will leave you with my (currently) favourite lines, from a book that the lovely Mien sent me:
'Yes before now I have been a boy and a girl
And a bush and a bird and a languageless fish in the sea.'
(Empedokles, fragment 117)
in Anne Carson’s response to Roni Horn’s work:
Wonderwater: Alice Offshore, p. 85
You know why. Let's all be everything we can be! Wishing you a happy healthy creative peaceful & communicative 2009. See you then.
The flying femme was made in 2004, a birthday present for my mom.
Materials: Newsprint and masking tape
Dimensions: 60 cm x 9 xm x 36 cm

Happy New Year Marjojo.
Here's to strength, joy and baeuty...
reminds me of a notation in a Toni Morrison book about this figure called "the teeth mother" or something like that... when the child would try to crawl back inward to the womb, the "teeth" would rip him up... so he couldn't enter into, and stay a child.
Happy New year to you and your very poetic friend, Mien. I love the Anne Carson speech.
Oh I love the flying femme! A surprise...as Redreday said.
