Response to My current fetish: Michel Comte

from tom meyer (twm@mindspring.com)
no no no trouble from me, we are deep together. I can relate very well to that understanding. I am attracted to those images for much the same reason, they illuminate a part of my psyche that informs my concious mind in disturbing ways. It's the same reason I appreciate Joel Peter Witkin's work without liking it, in fact being repulsed by it. Forewarned is forearmed, I will hold myself back from this and knowing of it's presence (my capability for and seduction by these images) is an important part of knowing myself and supports the choices I make. If I come to make images like this for any reason, I will speak volumes in whatever media/language I know to show the beauty of them, for it is not only in the looking that that beauty can be known. Am I clearwise now? (I always liked that language the kids spoke in Mad Max: Thunderdome)... t

I read somewhere that we "create to make sense of experience" is that kind of what you're getting at?

I also read an interveiw with Alan Watts in which he quoted Walt Whitman " do I contradict myself? Very well, I contradict myself. I am multitudes."... I see myself in everything, I am nothing, I am god.

and a skinny one, too. Over six feet and close to 150# with boots on... (that's me with the eggplant) ha!

please never apologise for being
