in the meantime...

.... I went to Beirut for a week, came back and opened Anna Boghiguian's and Cevdet Erek's show that was beautiful, went home for the holiday and even if Athens didn't feel like home somehow it was warm and as always nights were particularly long. Then came back to Istanbul and in a week's time I was back in Athens for Eftihis Patsourakis' solo show at Eleni Koroneou's gallery then went to London and then Cambridge for Mark Aerial Waller's show at Wysing, were I found myself drinking wines at The Red House with Mark and Lotte and the lovely owners. The country opened my eyes and heart again. Meeting Mr.S on my last evening opened my heart even more and reminded me what real friends are here for: uplifting, laughing and putting things back in their path. Back to Istanbul, I waited for Mr. Tufnell to open his show on hallucinations and flying carpets, that is currently running at Rodeo. So many things to say and describe and narrate; so many wrong and right feelings, words spoken and many left back there.. That's the living. Anna Boghiguian, I sowed gardens in my soul, I drew gardens on my body, I had my nightmares engraved on my face, I cried and I laughed, I became part of humanity, watercolor on paper, 2009.
