the beauty of a winter tree in silhouette – the lungs of the planet naked to the sky
leaf-litter on the woodland floor – and underwater on a stream bed – beautiful mulch – food and shelter for tiny creatures and microscopic activity
and the path home – to a pot of white hyacinths by the windowsill in front of my desk
The great German painter Gerhard Richter compels us to question the act of looking – he balances longing for something behind what is represented, with an insistence that we can never know what is there.
