Dry Emotions

The A3 sheets are recycled papers taken from « to-do » journals dating back to a time in the past when I worked as a sales manager. Out of a strange habit, I continued to keep them, despite a series of moves to different cities and the fact that there was no longer any need for them.

 

The flowers of automatic writing are graphic equivalents of emotional states that happen as an unnecessary type of writing, without carrying any functional information, they spring « on the margins »of the to-do lists. After a while, all the lists, notes of meetings and plans that once seemed super important merged into the indistinguishable soil of the past. The random whorls between the lines became a form of memory, an undecipherable archive.
