I had bought the cream and always saw the box
as a small ancient Greek temple. I aleays new
it would be
something one day.
They have constructed it (the box) in a particular
way (most are small boxes) with colour, words
and the pink.
When I put the bits of seaweed in it I remembered
a Russian story with a witch who walks with
crows legs. It
haunted me until one day I wanted to use pink
in another box, so I painted a few bits of cedar
pink and finding
a tall wine box - somehow it was the Greek temple
as always was to me. I set it very high, just
like the
Acropolis is set very high.
I am not involved in a collection of objects.
I never think of them as a collection of items.
I am interested in
how they combine. They are about objects, which
are nothing in themselves, but when they and
the colours
come together they transform themselves completely
and become something else.
Evocation - it is like a scent that takes you
back to a part of your life - a garden or place.
