Changing countries, changing places, changing contexts, changing time.

I observe

Changing the “story line”, changing languages, intersecting languages and entangling brushes.

I sweep(away).

I chose to be transversal. To welcome what comes from bot- tom to the top, from left to right. My hand guides me in these choices.

Not to act. The dust settles, confusing the spaces, hiding the limits, covering, and in a gesture, rises, suspends.

Not to act. My hand guides me. The broom dances and I visit the arid grounds. Draw and pick up everything lying about. The slow obsession turns and each day its place. Turns. Its dust and its leaves turn round in the centre of the columns, the ceilings and the walls. Dust is raised.

All around, I operate, I align and centre, bring together and match

To passers. Questions are asked but the dust makes them ee. Origin. Language. Why and How. The encounters, the effort, the sun which hits. The smile which burns

I accumulate.
