This Carnet on Japanese Moleskine is dedited to “The Drifter”, a Taylor Steele Movie with Rob Machado as starring and drifting…
Well, there’s plenty of words with which I could try to describe how I knew this movie, why and how much I care ‘bout, why I’ve made a Carnet focused on it and from it inspired, etc…
But…
I don’t think it really matters, as I don’t wont to bug anyone with my elucubration (dreaming-up).
My way of painting, as carnets as other media, is just a way of expression, a need of mine materializing in colors, drawings and notes. Thus this carnet is just a reaction springing out from the so full of beauty Taylor and Rob drifting around Bali and Indo. Sometimes, chatting with my beloved, we state that this is a real carnet de voyage, a travel truly lived, natural and humans sights truly seen and recorded, with the eyes of the surf [er].
What I really felt soooo fine, so cool, is a sensation of deep immersion into the drifting of the mind and the feelings springing out from a travel which, I think, is the incarnation of a travel made inside ourself, feelings different in forms but that I perfectly re-found in what I lived in 2005 in China, drifting completely alone…
In this carnet I met again versus the very hard attempt in describing by painting a sum of sensation which touch sound and smell…, like in Tiantan Gongyuan (Beijing) the sound of the deep magik silcence of the sun rising-up from the East gate, and the hot sound of the shout by far-away people concealed in the deep of the sacred wood practicing Qigong exercises…
as here in The Drifter the sound of the bells in the beginning, and of the powerfull wiping-out of waves…
As in Sipping Jetstreams someone told, I’m only trying to read the whole book…
