About the art
Artist statement
This artwork is accompanied by an original poem -
When the moment is lived
Only by itself
Without belonging to anything but itself
Then the story of my life
Is as amazing to me whenever I see it
As it is to anyone else
The story is there only when there is thinking
The actual happening is only ever now
And contrary to what the thinking mind may say about it later
It happens entirely by itself
And it occurs only presently
Owing nothing of itself to time
Such fresh innocent occurrence
Is always new
Is always the first occurrence
Every occurrence is so
Every happening is the first
