in questi giorni sui media si parla quasi solo dell’aggressione al premier
se ne parla com’era prevedibile in maniera assai diversa a seconda della parte politica che si esprime e mi disturba profondamente la vergognosa strumentalizzazione che alcuni stanno operando in merito all’accaduto, tentando di annichilire il confronto politico colpevolizzando l’opposizione – per non parlare di un incalzante processo di martirizzazione che renderà la figura di berlusconi definitivamente intoccabile

non avrei persato di poter prendere ad esempio gli stati uniti (mi rifaccio all’intervento odierno di un’ascoltatrice a prima pagina) e la loro capacità di resistere democraticamente ai numerosi attacchi violenti a carico di personaggi pubblici e capi di stato,  senza operare pericolose misure restrittive (certo non è tutto oro quel che luccica) e mi sorprende allo stesso modo un governo (il nostro) che si definisce liberale ed al contrario si serve di strumenti repressivi e strategie di contenimento e persuasione tipiche dei regimi

segnalo per la sua sintetica chiarezza l’articolo di marco belpoliti uscito qualche giorno fa su nazione indiana
inoltre riporto in calce una battuta trovata attraverso tumblr che si ricollega precisamente ai contenuti dell’articolo … perchè ridere costituisce uno degli strumenti di espressione e liberazione  cui non dobbiamo rinunciare – perchè ridere non è sorridere, piuttosto è esprimere il proprio pensiero e la propria emozione senza mezzi termini – una bella responsabilità

I am the angel of reality,
seen for a moment standing in the door

time can  change people (at least me) so much
you could test it in my previous post, where I showed you several angels drawn in the years
my way of considering and processing what I see and live is different day by day, even if some references don’t lose their importance
one of my beloved poets and writers is rainer maria rilke and often go to repass his sublime verses
he wrote about angels and could make this archetypal figure match so intimately with incoming modernity of 1900
then, I still was very young, met the work of another great poet that wrote an entire book entitled to angels: rafael alberti, born in spain, spent some of his life in italia too, during francisco franco dictatorship / he as been one of the greatest exponents of spanish leftist culture
his angels come directly from real life, a metropolitan life we can verify in our everyday

+ el angel ceniciento +

Precipitadas las luces
por los derrumbos del cielo,
en la barca de las nieblas
bajaste tú, Ceniciento.
Para romper cadenas
y enfrentar a la tierra contra el viento.
Iracundo, ciego.
Para romper cadenas
y enfrentar a los mares contra el fuego.
Dando bandazos el mundo,
por la nada rodó, muerto.
No se enteraron los hombres.
Sólo tú y yo, Ceniciento.

RAFAEL ALBERTI

actually my body is crossing a difficult moment – as my life and my country
would meet a powerful and very patient angel, maybe – helping me to (feel) better

in a recent post camilla put a photo of a special christmas angel made by cornelia
during the years I drew many angels (not for christmas time) each one different in shape and attitude
today made some scans of those i still have at home – a small angelical antologia

  1. angels in love – late 80s
  2. small wings angel – 1992
  3. silver silver blue blue – 1997
  4. cometa – 1998
  5. hanged angel – 1999

eurythmics – there must be an angel – 1985

next post will show you  most recent angels

have been at my parents for a day, to build their christmas tree
frost changed color and appearance of the country –  fields seemed smoother and almost iridescent
snow arrived until the lower mountain tops …

romain:
I’m happy you liked the christmas card I sent you
the address should be glued on the back of the envelope, written around a red&white target…

nathalie:
some of my friend are so good persons – think that my drawings will never be enough compared to their heart :)
thank you anyway,  you’re always kind

mandy:
those dresses seem designed on paper more than knitted!
thank you for inspiration

I am not too satisfied of my work recently
anyway –  like this pattern of mine enough
this is a new print (a3 size) – hand tinted and finished with chalk powder
made it for a friend
