...To go outside the line, pass the outline, to let go of one's hand.
To walk in the puddles, leave imprints, fill, create cracks, imperfections.
To scratch the paint in the depth of the layers, wander on the surface, stain, etch, then erase, willing to get lost, searching for "one's place", like a cat...
...To leave rebellious stains, by necessity, improvising on the wet canvas, wading, sinking, skidding around corners, trying the useless, liberating the left hand, fleeing the vigilance of adults, looking for the invisible, without appearing to do so, dreaming of impossible colours, deceiving appearances, painting the passing of time, travelling without a ticket, alone, passing no words, stepping off before coming to a complete stop, losing consciousness, looking for what I'm looking for...
