Nova Carinae Region [and] Reg. of Antares with Comet, [1898] Harvard College Observatory, Cambridge

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.

Johannes Veldhuizen, The tree people, Korowai, 1986.

“Houses of Irian Jaya’s Kombai and Korowai people are built as high as 150 feet for a reason: to see the birds and the mountains and to keep sorcerers from climbing their stairs. Also, the Korowai live in treehouses because when there is a fight with another clan in the jungle clearing, the young, old and women can quickly escape. It’s also breezier that high up.” https://www.instagram.com/p/CMpvLVDgBW8/?igshid=1pojzq5alskb

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.
