"Artmaking is making the invisible, visible."
- Marcel Duchamp
Quanto aos meus sonhos nada me assusta. Nada de pedras no pé, pedras do caminho, nem tropeçar nas pedras. Basta-me andar calmamente com os sonhos no bolso, sem que ninguém dê por eles. Até porque os sonhos em questão são de bom tamanho, uns quantos dedos de curiosidade, com a forma da imaginação. Cabem em qualquer algibeira. Não são agressivamente angulosos, nem rigídos. Limitam-se às arestas do corpo e ao infinito espaço da mente.
As for my dreams, nothing scares me. No stones in the foot, stones on the way, nor tripping over stones. It's enough for me to walk calmly with my dreams in my pocket, without anyone noticing them. The dreams in question are of good size, fingertips of curiosity, with a dash of imagination. Dreams fit in any willing pocket, not aggressively angular or rigid. Mine are limited by the edges of the body and the infinite space of the mind.
