ONLY HUMAN UnsTable
“In a murderous time the heart breaks and breaks and lives by breaking.
It is necessary to go through dark and deeper dark and not to turn.”
Stanley Kunitz, The Testing Tree
A Great light may often shatter into small and fragile particles.
Walls that are built in the course of a lifetime, collapse into themselves, but basked in this light you can find a moment of quiet.
Heartbeat slowed and accelerated and irregular generate inner turmoil, as a darkening of the sky,
and the silence of the sun just as it leaves.
Loss of self-control and posture.
Out of this sentiment began an examination of fracture of stability, the failure to control the whole.
Examining the gap, the breakdown and the beauty of the fracture.
“Table” - the primal association of stability.
A table consists of a surface and four legs, sure and strong. Archetype. No mistakes, no falls, no questions.
100 tons of iron.
I found myself observing different behaviours of foot holdings.
Stretching the thin line that separates and differentiates stability and fragilness.
Like a man looking down from high altitude, balance and body movement struggles to stand on the edge.
