Before the painting

Within a tall field of house, sea and small figure, a faint horse enters the surrounding light and hovers between presence and absence.

Art-Historical Structure

What was always near may become almost invisible. After disappearance, ordinary gestures return as memory.

The horse is painted faintly—not through failure, but at the density most faithful to remembrance. A beloved existence may lose its outline because it has entered too deeply within the self.

Key Sentence

What we love most may remain faintly because it has entered too deeply within us.CORE 21 · Recollection · 1988
