Den bor på vor stentrappe. Når vi har gæster kommer den aldrig
frem,
modsat Gomorra, naboens kat. Men når den er i godt humør, stikker
den hovedet frem,
og for en sikkerheds skyld kun halvdelen af sin lange mørke krop og
spiller med sin kløvede tunge.
Skinner solen og det er rigtigt varmt, lader den sig overrumple med hele kroppen
slynget om en sten
eller potteplante og falder sløvt ned fra trappen med et dunst. Kan
denne svenske naturs mangfoldighed
byttes med Nørrebro’s multikulti, og en dansk bronceskulptur af en
dreng og hans ged udenfor døren?
De sidste 2 –3 år har jeg haft udstillinger i Oslo, Fredensborg, Karlskrona
og Mumbai, Indien.
I Fredensborg er det med årene blevet til hele 4 udstillinger i Villa
Bournonville og nu den tredje
i Galleri Tinghuset.
Her face
In between the layers of paint you come out to look at me. Amazingly your
face so much more than a portrait,
changes colour and shape, symbols and moods exploding.
Again I can cover you. Is it you or me who is hiding? I can change form and
invent new ideas,
but is it not the eyes looking that bring new life, your eyes or mine it’s
all the same.
I wear a turban when I’m there and nothing when here. Seen from outside I’m
both this and that and mostly nothing.
It’s good to drink tea.
Darkness covers my lost sun and weather bleached bones, her hair is an ocean
all around me.
Gently caressing her face and sensuous body, I feel her red tongue playing
with me. She is Kali screaming: ‘Wake up man!’
How good to lie prostrated flat on the ground nose smelling the living earth,
before seeing the sun.
I can dream or cut off my head and still be alive. In your embrace I’m born
again and again,
each time anew lasting only too short a time. But I know you are hidden in
the paint on my canvas, always present.
It’s not a boast, as mostly I’m sleeping and like my tea with milk.
