Step by step
Let’s improvise digital mantras!
Doubt into destiny!
Filling the pores of the studio
with a musical smell.
Its flakes and scales
are collected
collaged
and turned into a current.
While mining my memory
for marbling manoeuvres
surrendering to the final
silent stir.
Must skim colours!
from its trendy too-friendly froth!
Only then to be fondled with
virgin tools.
Still we saunter on a path
paved by painters from the past.
Challenging myself to tread
only on the moss between.
Step by step
