To risk one’s life, in fact, is to reveal oneself as not-bound to the objective form or to any determined existence — as not-bound to life.

Suffering itself is a piece of self-knowing. In responding to a loss with anguish, we are grasping our love. The love is not some separate fact about us that is signaled by the impression; the impression reveals the love by constituting it. Love is not a structure in the heart waiting to be discovered; it is embodied in, made up out of, experiences of suffering.
Martha Nussbaum, Love’s Knowledge (via philosophybits)

Everybody asks this as if it is a taboo to move further than the designated area of the canvas. That says so much about our thinking in strict categories, doesn’t it? In a studio, it’s very normal to sketch on the floor, the wall, a chair or a torn piece of cardboard. It was a very natural move for me. Maybe I didn’t even realize that I began doing it in the first place. I started to observe more closely how my painting behaves differently under changing conditions. Then I started to be intrigued by how color can cause extremely powerful changes to its surroundings.
