on the face of life..!!
Their answers were ambiguous and ingenuous, as if they were all guarding trade secrets
Where as it seems to me all you have to do, is conceive of the whole world
and all humanity
as a kind of art work
a site-specific art work
an art project of the god of light
the whole earth and all that's in it
to be painted with light.
And the first thing you have to do
is paint out postmodern painting
And the next thing is to paint yourself
in your true colors
in primary colors
as you see them
paint yourself as you see yourself
without make-up
without masks
Then paint your favorite people and animals, with your brush loaded with light.
And be sure you get the perspective right and don't fake it because one false line leads to another
And don't forget to paint all those who lived their lives as bearers of light, paint their eyes
and the eyes of every animal
and the eyes of beautiful women
known best for the perfection of their breasts
and the eyes of men and women
known only for the light of their minds
Paint the light of their eyes
the light of sunlit laughter
the song of eyes
the song of birds in flight
And remember that the light is within
if it is anywhere
and you must start painting from inside
