Dear Alan
I feel I have been neglectfull in not responding to your message. The poem
does really reveal and share some deep and insightfull changes that you are
encountering. It is brilliant! and in response to your painting please see
attached it is one of a serries of nine called new growth painted in 1998.
I think you have significantly moved away from a didactic form of
representation. Whilst this is highly informative and I have a great respect for
the inspirational content and meanings in your work, can without your
intention, tend to reinforce the very lineage of thinking that you wish to
change and perhaps alienate without intention. Your poem cuts straight
through to the heart and resonates with me at very deep levels, truly
inspirational.
I am going to St Ives Tate this coming week end to a seminar called 'Magic
and modernism' part of the 'Dark Monarch' exhibition currently running and next
week to the 'Heavens Gate' Celebration of blakes birthday in Stroad. Your
words move me back to my own poetry writings and remind me to nurture the
self as a co-creative neighbourhood without neglecting my own creative
expressions.
Thank you Alan and congratulations on the key note in Australia I have veiwed
you videos at the linean society lecture you gave once again inspirational
insights into how nature really is and works.
With great respect and love Andy
