Hi Alon - I'm sure you know this. In case others aren't familar with it, I thought I'd send. I'd love to see Alon Rayner's depiction of this inside-outside in oils. One is inside then outside what one has been inside One feels empty because there is nothing inside oneself One tries to get inside oneself that inside of the outside once one tries to get oneself inside what one is outside: to eat and to be eaten to have the outside inside and to be inside the outside But this is not enough. One is trying to get the inside of what one is outside inside, and to get iside the outside. But one does not get inside the outside by getting the outside inside for; although one is full inside of the inside of the outside one is on the outside of one's own inside and by getting inside the outside while one is on the inside even the inside of the outside is outside and inside oneself there is still nothing There never has been anything else and there never will be Laing, R.D.
