Message from Rene i.a.t.b.a
It was a day like any other, about tea time, suddenly the day went from drab to fantastic. As an artist, who claims to be Nature’s Ambassador, I was not aware as to the extent of Nature’s benevolence. Nature communicates with me in the form of inspiration and my duty as her ambassador is to translate these messages into a transcendental language that everybody can understand; that language is ART. When Nature decides to communicate with me there is nothing I can do except to follow her instructions. Just before meeting Cyndi, Nature had told me to create living sculptures with living flesh. I had been making experiments tying peaces of wood with string but that was not what she wanted me to do. Then I tried experimenting with friends but it was very hard trying to convince them that Nature had chose them, through me, to be immortalized as a living sculpture. Needles to say, the quest was nearly impossible. The subject had to trust and understand that I was an artist looking for a subject willing to help me materialize a dream. Telling them that Nature had instructed me to do this was not at all convincing. You see, most of the time I don’t know what I am doing. I am the kind of artist that first paints a portrait and then searches for someone who resembles the portrait. The subject chosen to become one of my dreams had to be special in every way. First she had to be a visionary with dreams of her own. Then she had to be beautiful and talentedThe last thing I was expecting that day was a minute apparition at my door steps. I was just finishing my second cup of tea and some crumpets when a knock on my door interrupted my stupor. There she stood a vivacious little thing with stringy blond hair and a figure that did not match anything that I had seen before. My first impression was that she was selling girl-scout cookies; either that or she had taken the wrong bus and was desperately lost. Are you Rene? She said. I looked to both sides of the street thinking that somebody was playing a joke on me. I was expecting her to say: can Rene come out and play? But it was better than that; she wanted to come in and play. I invited her in and inquired as to the motive of her visit. A friend told me that you make some dresses and that you were looking for models upon which to weave your creations. A sensation came over me, similar to that feeling you get when you realize that you put too much soap in the washing machine. I explained to her that Nature had instructed me to search for someone but it never occurred to me that she would deliver.Cyndi is her name and to this day all I can say is that thanks to her talent as a poetess and her disposition as a dreamer we had the opportunity to create and live in a world of our own. Everything we have done up to now has been for the sake of ART. It was a real sacrifice on her part; she had to travel all the way from New Jersey to downtown Manhattan. While she stood there waiting for me to finish weaving her costume on her she would read her Sea Serpent’s Daughter poem to me, thus creating the background symphony for our dreams. The friendship and the trust between us have been the bonding agent that fused us into one happy dream; a dream from which we will never awake.It has been very hard to explain that Nature communicates with me in the form of inspiration. Natural creations such as Cyndi inspire me to create. Cyndi is beautiful and talented. Having confronted the challenge of improving perfection humbled me and made me realize that the best I could have done was to limit myself to decorate it. I thank Nature for the opportunity she granted me to embellish one of her natural and talented creation such as Cyndi.
