Loneliness

"Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone."

Working in a group is not an option for me. I am able to work with one other person about, but even then I create when alone and manufacture when in company. In a group I am paralysed and dispersed.

And yet, in isolation I feel cut off and starved of the oxygen of comment, encouragement and the possibility to look at my work through cold outer perspective, rather than the inner eye of emotion.

Networking makes it possible to spread out the work for others to see, in shows, in festivals, in the marketplace.

So company has to be mediated so that one-to-one dialogue can take place but the invasion of the senses by too much presence is avoided.

I get used to it, but long for the perfect world...
