Sampling imagery, text and sounds ..with poetic intent. Exploring dualities. Two-sidedness in the human condition. I like words. Words not used in gossip or for empowerment. The words I like are the intuitive orderings of thought. I am probably better at expressing myself in Norwegian, but, being reminded by the words of Nasreddin: “..in that […]
