Day of getting on undistracted in the studio.
Trying to remember an old native American rug of my grandparents and re-draw it; reflecting on a live performative reading to a mirror; aspects of lives crossing over; titles have emerged today; words rediscovered; fact and fiction are blurring; imagined and remembered can be the same; while also reading Thich Nhat Hanh “How to See”.
Thinking a lot about Haunting – not with its negative connotations but from its origins from Old French hanter “to frequent, visit regularly; have to do with, be familiar with; indulge in, cultivate” (12c.) And how one can be ‘haunted’ by their childhood and/or past in this manner.
Also thinking about Ghost in relation to its other meanings: a slight trace or vestige of something and a faint secondary image caused by a fault in an optical system, duplicate signal transmission.
And finally Heirloom with its origins in early 15c. (ayre lome) a hybrid from Heir + Loom – in its original but now otherwise obsolete sense of “implement, tool,” piece of property or equipment that is passed down with the real estate.
