A wall with a crack, R. das Sereias, Canasvieiras

 

 

 

 

This is one of my favourite places. I love to stand here.

 

 I think it's not just one of my favourite places in my neighbourhood, or in Santa Catarina, but in the entire world.

 

I like to think about what lies behind the wall. I like how nature is overcoming the wall which now has a crack. I like the angle of the corner and the slight slope of the road. I love the sad feeling it all gives.

 

These things make me feel incredibly good.

It might not really be a ladder: It might be part of an ironing board or some kind of stand. 

What is certain, however, is that it is being used by pixies to get over the grey wall.

White Wall

The incidental scratching is very nice, and impossible to happily create as a painter- it's the casualness, the randomness of the marks.

I was always too heavy, too deliberate as a painter, which is why less immediately controlled media such as monotype or photography, suit me.
