based on Clarice Lispector’s 1973 novel Agua Viva :

“...I’m perceiving a crooked reality,  seen through an oblique cut.  Only now have I sensed the oblique of life.  I used to only see through straight and parallel cuts. I didn’t notice the sly crooked line. Now I sense that life is other. That living is not only unwinding rough feelings-- it’s something more bewitching and gracile...” 

Note: This painting, and all others in the series, are tricky to capture in photograph.  Highly encourage seeing them in person! Happy to arrange studio visits in Portland.
