the writer to the shoemaker, the carpenter to the sculptor etc....
It fascinates me, the rest bores me.
Turning something into something else is a magical act whose essence is to give the
pleasure.

There's not a time I haven't done it without going above and beyond. Beyond the rule. There is
no creation otherwise. As soon as we start disobeying we give pleasure.
That's why architecture bores me, it never disobeys. I like cabins and
ruins for this. With them, we are free to take pleasure in our desires...
When we create, we dig, we scrape, we try, we confront, we rage, we escape to the surface, we

evidence, a truth. This vertigo seizes you, it also gives you your own pleasure and, at that moment, you
you don't give a damn about other people, you think about what you do and nothing else and it's too good, this
absolute present, you are in the real, in the fusion between the real and the imaginary, and you are still trying,
you go even further, you break your back, you break your teeth and suddenly the bow is stretched and everything becomes
obvious.
Then it's ready, calm comes back, the river calms down and you offer it, and yet you know they don't

The miracle happens almost every time. Almost every project, he never jaded me. Not

The creation is to be intranquilous otherwise you create nothing. If that's what being an artist is all about then I am, by

There is space, wild energy and gentleness,
faults and fractures,
landscapes bigger than us
Violence and wounds
High wind in the summits
Shapes that escape

Deserts and stubbornness
Cabins to hide
in And no question of giving up.
More sweetness
