In my mind that day was how to think about some \u2018self-portraits\u2019 I\u2019d been painting, how to tie them in to my practice. I re-read notes from poetry workshops to see what spoke to me now. Notes from zoom calls with my friend. Notes about ideas and notes to self. Sometimes screams of agony. Notes and connections. More of an on-going conversation than notes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">The notebook\u2019s timespan included encounters with Laurie Anderson\u2019s Norton Lectures , Jane Hirshfield workshop at Coffee House Poetry, Bracha Ettinger on matrixial theory, Griselda Pollock on Charlotte Salomon, Gabriel Josopovici on Modernism, and the Weird Studies podcast. Iris Murdoch and Simone Weil on attention, on \u2018unselfing\u2019, linger in the background always. <\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">My conversation with the notebook turned itself into a list of questions. I realised as I listed them that these were the questions I needed to ask of the portraits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I gave each portrait half a day to answer the questions. By writing in response to the paintings, I wanted to lead myself deeper into the labyrinth, to explore the mystery while retaining the mystery. Not to \u2018unpack\u2019 or explain \u2013 impossible \u2013 to notice more. The answers became a starting text, to be worked into something more poetic until it fitted, resonated, joined forces, with the painting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">I\u2019m still working out how to best present these hybrid artworks, exhibition or book or &#8230; Meanwhile, here are the questions.
