Stola di serpente

We had counted only the joints enclosed by skin. This left certain movements without a place in the account.

A serpent can make use of an elbow without possessing one. The bend occurs once, though it enters two lives differently. What is a gesture for one becomes a change of ground for the other. Neither receives the whole movement. Something of it passes between them without becoming an act they could perform alone.

An outgrowth of the flesh may have less part in an intention than a creature resting against it. Yet enlarging the body to include this creature would spoil the reckoning again: its smallest adjustment must still be allowed to come from elsewhere.

The arm can remain at rest throughout. We have entered its weight, but have made no allowance yet for the use another body makes of its stillness.

This work is born from the fusion of two parents: it inherits their forms, style, colours and ideas in a new visual identity. While living in the pool, it can pass these traits to further children. Instagram likes contribute to its chance of reproducing.

These are the two works from which the child’s visual inheritance comes. Their connections remain visible after the parents leave the pool.
