Audio for Ruminating

Work description and interpretation
In this audio work, the words pronounced fill a physical space.
I recorded myself reading this text all in one go for the first time in my studio on 20 December 2019. Speaking out loud, without making any corrections.
Over the years, alongside the work of painting there has been a reckoning, a rumination, a parallel mumbling.
This text is the transcription of annotations taken from pages and notebooks in which I have written down the thoughts that come to mind whilst painting since 1980. The first draft begins with the commencement of painting.
It is an organic body, a way of writing that reflects on what I do, on what happens in the concrete relationship with the thing, which tries to understand what I am doing. A conversation between me and myself.
