Velasquez's Vulcan
disentangling describes your situation in terms of acquiring the capacity to act spontaneously and confidently.
its symbol is casting out a plague demon.
----------------------------------------------------------
Hephaestus craftsman. maker. heartbreak.
worker. actor. blue-collar. skilled. journeyman.
in a sweat. metalsmith. dexterity. practical.
crackerjack wunderkind. genius for resistance.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Spain. religion. war. burnished plateaus.
military. flames. frenzy of walls. cruelty.
melancholy. obscure. choirs. sudden expansion.
---------------------------------------------------------
I am very unhappy tonight.
think of a silent revenge.
if you don't everything will be lost.
worry. it will save you. worrisome details will be forever with you.
----------------------------------------------------------
wander off the subject. you were meant to.
Hephaestus
He thought of invisible threads
wrapping two lovers
leaving them immobile
The naked bodies of the characters
add a certain sensuality
suitable for the moment
----------------------------------------------------------
Apollo, the main character of the painting, announces his message.
so tired. a beautiful dog. I know what you're thinking.
seeing: see eyes see self.
listening: see ear.
Segovia. simplicity.
silence.
----------------------------------------------------------
so let's not complain of fears or
become discouraged at
seeing our nature
weak and without strength.
the thought comes to me now.
so angry with perfection I beg.
the flesh is very fond of comfort.
----------------------------------------------------------
vessels on the mantelpiece of the chimney
glitter of the forge.
a meditation based on conquest.
Teresa of Avila had just finished burning
the last ashes of her flesh.
----------------------------------------------------------
I no longer believe there is such a thing as "abstract
paintings," I do however believe there is such a thing as
Art that "makes the visible visible," and "art" that
rehashes the same old recipes, over and over.
There seems to be a real dilemma between "searching for
meaning," and "trying to belong"
----------------------------------------------------------
barbarous mystic. a single stroke.
odor of orange blossoms. Portraits of unknown men.
you can't blame yourself.
The anvil laid diagonally adds a certain perspective
it can't be
he saw our faces
we can't let him walk
----------------------------------------------------------
When I began
my intention was simply
to explain
how you can find
comfort
when you hear
some words
----------------------------------------------------------
we crave the food that will bring us death
----------------------------------------------------------
