The Felt Leaning

No sentimentality. Just play the notes.

The present is always unsettled, no one has had time to contemplate it in tranquillity … . I was a painter before I was a writer … and a painter never wants the subject right under his nose; he wants to stand back and study a landscape with half-closed eyes.

Michael Wolf - Bastard Chairs (2002)

“What Wolf calls The Bastard Chairs of China challenge the notion of our standard definition of a chair. Cobbled together from whatever debris and flotsam is available, there is something to be learned here—that a chair is a chair is a chair. And while we can appreciate the beauty and art of what we call ‘designer’ chairs throughout history and today, when all is said and done, what matters is that we have a place to rest our bones.”

We wear clothes, and speak, and create civilizations, and believe we are more than wolves. But inside us there is a word we cannot pronounce and that is who we are.
