remember
when you descended from heaven
one step closer to Earth
you brought your book of Love
close to your heart
oh so close to your heart
and each time you gave
the book melted
until it became a part of you
and when you remember

Whales and Gorillas
In the streets of one harbour town
where the sky is blue
and the flowers keep shifting colours from yellow to golden
There are sharks in the pool and dolphins too
A sailorman tells me that whales will visit soon
I drop my coffee, decline the wine.
I run towards the pool, jump in and swim out to sea, the sharks and dolphins, follow me
I swim into the bull's way and wave
The whale grabs me by his nose I try to ride, but he refuses to let go
He pushes me right out of sea and back to shore
Disappointed I take my backpack and start to walk
I collect my kids from different shelters
Our house is too big and we leave for the hills
Climbing up with a descending sun and purple sea
the flowers here shift from yellow to golden
A farmer has told me to sit here and wait
Out from the bush comes Chimpanzees, Gorillas and Tasmanian Devils
What a sight
We go to their village
They want to sell crafts that look like wonders
It is beautiful
I need it
and when I offer some coins
The Gorilla laughs

beauty and love
Beauty is only beautiful when not owned
and love only when your heart sets free
because no human can ever own Love
it is only there to be loved
and childrens eyes shine
because the shine reflects the intangible soul
of what everything is
and you see

Hans and Christ
times they change
and words can not fully describe
but they sometimes last
and you said
we should confidently praise, exalt and commend
the wonderful work of this Glorious gospel
among the Children of men
the spider and the dog
I found myself somewhere inside on ground level
the windows were open
and I wrote poems
people stood outside
I closed the window and smiled.
relaxed I jumped back into bed
a black dog stood outside another window
I let him in
I never saw his eyes
all I could think of was how to avoid him
exhausted I let go and fell from the ceiling into his open mouth
and he bit me
after a while I realized the bites did not kill me
I let him continue
my body got used to his bites
and the marks vanished
the Spider smiled
you let him in, and then you tried to escape
your anxiety made your mind seem harmful
and now you know it is not.
she let him out of the front door
I went back
and I opened the windows

Silence
The wonder makes me wonder
to wonder

stop wondering

the glassy wall grows thicker

Doubting Thomas
In Patriccia Puccinini's exhibition "Relativity" my attention was drawn to the sculpture "Doubting Thomas"
It portays a young boy at around the age of 7 who cautiously tries to touch something that looks unreal. A creature that seems to be a transgenic fantasy mixture of a hen and a dog. The creature has a mouth with fingers and teeth in it, and it has no eyes. Thomas tries to touch the fingers in it's mouth gently.
Juliana Engberg, the curator for this exhibition says about Puccinini's work that her sculptures are made in such a way to provoke reactions, the travel from horror to empathy in a swift moment.
The sculptures are often appealing with a touch of cuteness and sentimentality. They lure us to accept difficult biological scenarios that we would otherwise find repulsive or taboo.
"Many of her creations are a response to the crisis of extinction already confronting many living things and in such circumstances, responsibility and care must become necessary primary instincts" says Engberg.
Piccinini is drawn to the evidence that human and animal are linked closely in terms of their DNA structure. For Piccinini this means all things can be, and probably are, relative.
In Puccinini's work "Doubting Thomas" the artist makes reference to Saint Thomas and the account of belief and doubt and also Caravaggio's painting the "Incredulity of Thomas"
Doubting Thomas is a term used to describe someone who refuse to believe something without direct, physical, personal evidence. The term is based on the biblical account of Thomas the Apostle, a disciple of Jesus who doubted Jesus' resurrection and demanded to feel Jesus' wounds before being convinced. After seeing Jesus alive and offered the opportunity to feel his wounds, Thomas professes his faith in Jesus.
Caravaggios painting shows St Thomas inserting his forefinger into the wound of Christ's figure. The finger led by Christ's hand on St Thomas' wrist, pushes into a hole surrounded with flesh. The wound in Christ portrayed in this painting can be seen as the point where one body blends in with another or a portal where one soul steps into another reality. The spot have also been regarded as a vagina, a maternal site in Jesus.
Juliana Engberg wonders if Puccinini's sculptures metaphorical oddity could be daunting for people, envisioning a version of the "Vagina dentata"

However the boy in the sculpture "Doubting Thomas" is looking curious and simply stretches out his hand ready to believe. Engberg describes the boy as unperplexed and that it mirrors the childs way of exploring and understanding the world.
To me the creature's face lacking it's eyes looks mute or expressionless. What hides behind the outer layer of this creature I ask myself. I look for it's inner voice it's sound and expressions. It is a living creature, yet not. It is made in wax and it looks natural, like a living creature, not a blanket or a cup. Yet what we regard as non-living things has their own value. They have meanings and energies connected to them.
How would it look like if I replaced the creature with a cup. Looking at Thomas' reaction and his testing finger, the cup would have gotten the same value as the creature.

Simply Thomas would look astonished over the sighting of this cup and would need to touch it to believe it was there. Thomas could have had a dream and a history regarding this cup and therefore it is given meaning and context and in his view, it could become just as unbelievable and fantastic as the creature.
I personally felt between these two sculptures and intense energy. The moment before the touch, the feeling, connection that makes Thomas believe in this moment in time. There is nothing else to believe than just that. To believe in the moment you are in. The energy you are surrounded with, what is created through one instant interaction.
Yes I believe in you, yes you are here and yes we felt each other in this moment of time. If Thomas touched this creature he would get a verification of his beliefs, and for him that moment becomes true. I can imagine it would give him a sense of verification of his own realness in that moment, a confirmastion of his beliefs. This happens between all living things, but also between the non living material and the living. What ever we focus our energy on, will expand.
I can not see the "Vagina dentata" in Caravaggio's painting. There are no teeth in Jesus' wound. Thomas does not look afraid to loose his fingers, however the fright and doubt looks more fundamental since Thomas already know Jesus is dead

.
In Puccinini's work Doubting Thomas is a child, the child reacts to the creature in a obvious curious way. His body language shows interest and attentiveness, young Thomas is ready to learn. Even though the creature's mouth looks scary and it has teeth and fingers, the child does not know of or feel any threat.
Thomas in Caravaggio's painting is a grown up man and has to be guided with Jesus' hand on his wrist to touch him. He needs moral and physical support to approach the unbelievable. His stressed expression and cold wide open eyes is that of a grown up denying himself the curiousness of a child, diving into the electrical energy field of what this unknown land is. Instead of embracing it, he denies himself the discovering, the confirming and comforting experience of that meeting in that moment in time.
I can imagine grown up Thomas sits there in the aftermath totally confused, feeling seasick and unwell after this experience, only because he did not let go and dared to be open to the wonders in life.
Joseph Beuys (1921-1986) is the example of a grown up deciding to keep the child within to be able to properly discover, staying curious and open to change. To me he is the grown up Puccinini's doubting Thomas. He is a modern shaman or an artist, if you would like.
Beuys was born in Cleves, West Germany, in 1921, he was an artist and a politician. He believed that the key to understanding the world is to be found in material. By material he means everything that conveys energies which give meaning and direction in life.
In his sculptures he used materials as felt, fat , iron and copper and from there he started using intangible materials that people use to give expression and thoughts forms, namely speech, language, movement and social organization.

In his sculptures he used materials as felt, fat , iron and copper and from there he started using intangible materials that people use to give expression and thoughts forms, namely speech, language, movement and social organization.
His theory on sculpture formed into a social sculpture which in turn led to the formation of the German Student Party, the organization of Direct Democracy and the Free International University.
He said my objects are to be seen as stimulants for the transformation of the idea of sculpture, or of art in general. They should provoke thoughts about what sculpture can be and how the concept of sculpting can be extended to the invisible materials used by everyone.
He used the term" thinking form" and explained that this is how we mould our thoughts or how we shape our thoughts. "Spoken form" is for how we shape our thoughts into words. Social sculpture is how we mould and shape the world in which we live.
"Sculpture as an evolutionary process and therefore everyone is an artist " Joseph Beuys
He said that the nature of his sculptures are not fixed and finished. Processes continue in most of them, chemical reactions, fermentations, color changes, decay, drying up. Because everything is in a state of change.
The wound as portrayed by Caravaggio I find is by Beuys portrayed through his piece The Bathtub (Die Badewanne).
The wound represents birth and according to Beuys his artwork Die Badewanne, refers directly to this event. He says the wound or trauma is directly experienced by every person as they come into contact with the hard material conditions of the world through birth.
This is the tub in which he bathed as a child, only extended with meaning. Sticking plaster and fat soaked gauze. The plaster indicates the wound while fat suggests a less physical level. Fat can appear in solid or liquid form, definite in shape or chaotic in flow, according to temperature.
Here it indicates change, transformation and substance- like the act of birth.
Saint Thomas in Caravaggios painting, when putting his finger in Jesus' wound, confirmed Jesus' resurrection to the skeptic.
Also when young Thomas touches the wound or the mouth in Puccinini's creature an energetic change happens, a type of rebirth or transformation. When St Thomas doubted Jesus he had learned that death is nothing, death is the end only.
Death also means that when something ends, a change happens as an effect of the ending, change is new and therefore a beginning. Death is change, a type of rebirth. Jesus' death changes St Thomas way of thinking and this means a new beginning for Saint Thomas.
Beuys says about death that through western thinking and the science that grew from it, was only to reach material, the way to do it though said Beuys was through death. If you take the brain, he explained, as being the material basis of thought, as hard and glassy as a mirror, it becomes clear that thinking can only be fulfilled through death, and that a higher level exists for it through the liberation of death, a new life for thinking.
He also claimed that looking through all times, all animals have been viewed upon as psychopomps that accompany the soul into the beyond, or as the dead persons new form.
Puccinini's creatures act as mediators, that lures and guides us into a new world of technological wonders and mixtures. A world where humans and animals, regardless of any thinkable and unthinkable differences becomes nurtured with an acceptance of understanding. They are our modern times psychopomps that accompany us into a new life of understanding and nurturing of all living forms, both emotionally and physically.
What ever you focus your energy on, will expand, do not deny the wonders.
