Susie Anderson

feeling

 

take:

the artist also possesses the power of destruction / mould at the slightest touch / the cycle / against new

give:

raw material aka before even knowing there was something to work with / everything too many times /

take:

ambiguous figures or half-remembered dreams / there was nothing before I arrived / so can cope leaving empty handed / yet

give:

just merge bodies / truly outside myself / it is in love / a way to go beyond form / parts will meet each other once again
