Forest of the wild manimal – or, The psychic space the artist projects well beyond the eyes
If we don’t know what mix this is – we don’t –
we don’t stay but follow for where she’s left,
our cavity of wild becomes the world, but what
kind of world will it be?
For Anne Forest, and for Annegien Schilling

Encounter
Detail from triptych by Carla Veltman.
Monstrance
Give us an answer
Artist, lunatic and man of faith
They roam like cats in the night
In no need of another meal
but with eyes to see
and time on their hands.
They are restless and satisfied.
And not three, but one,
for each is inclined
to think he’s the other
vibrant, silky
cat.
Fairfield with Neil Welliver
“On one occasion we were walking in silence and Fairfield said suddenly, ‘You know you use too much green in your painting.’ I said, ‘Fairfield, that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard you say. We are standing in an envelope of green! There is green above and below, left and right, in front and in back of us.’ Fairfield looked all around intensely, then said, ‘You’re right: you probably don’t use enough green.'”
Quoted in Fairfield Porter: An American Classic, by John T. Spike
De Kooning and Fairfield Porter
“Another time, de Kooning recounted seeing a man at the circus, off in a corner by himself, doing a handstand on one finger. The point of it was, ‘No one asked him to do this.'” In Fairfield Porter: An American Classic, by John T. Spike.
