It was an honor to open for @anish.kapoor at the inauguration of his exhibition at the Palazzo Corvaja in Taormina, Sicily, as part of the @taobukfestival. 

In Autobiography of Red by Anne Carson, Geryon (a red-winged monster) says: “I will never know how you see red, and you will never know how I see it.” which captures the essence of Anish’s work for me. I shared this line, then read an excerpt from my collection Al-Majaz (Metaphor), & it led to a dialogue about our chiastic processes of making and what Anish described as “stomach memory” in response to the line “an intuitive sort of math” in my poem. 

I’ve often said that writing is a psychosomatic process for me.. and there is something in the encounter of Anish’s work that feels textured with this anatomical-intelligence(/stomach memory). Perhaps it’s his preoccupation with unearthing the spectacle in nothingness that makes experiencing it so profound (+perplexing+/~sublime~). Perec’s concept of the ‘infra-ordinary’ or “what happens when nothing is happening” has swum through my practice over the years and took on a different meaning for me in the context of this confluence.
