and you saw this little
ball in blackness…
I became aware of
what I felt I was.”

and ink paintings on
board and paper,

“My memory is not
what it was. It’s
a very interesting
situation because
sometimes I don’t
know whether I
dreamt something
or whether I lived it.
It really doesn’t
matter one way or
another. It was
an experience...”
