​Abs-TRACT of the 2nd skin fibrin:

Zig zag zig zag tik tik tak zig zig zig zag – vertical and horizontal lines, caught into curves, knots and loops of threads, interweaved into garments, echo not only the twists, and turns of actions-reactions, but also the layering and intertwining of them, incorporating us into the 2nd skin fibrin, a prerequisite for our survival in the current time of the global the 'give and take'.

 

Resulting configurations of perpendicular lines are the body abs-TRACT, visualized, connecting us into a merry go round labyrinth of knitted threads, connecting x and y, young and old, seen, and unseen, the intro and extravert of our personalities into unconscious patterns. They externalize, extract from our (intestine) TRACT the twists and turns of molecular and chemical reactions accumulated through transgenerational layering and knotting. Their attempt: to unknot the knots that block the passages in our bodies which are moving in the complex network where the axis of time is perpendicular with space. We are like threads, caught into loops of emotions in the patterns of past and future generations… The trans-generational tract moving through the body has been invisible for too long because the body has been muted for too long in the visible, now looking to exTRACT also the invisible into the visible.

 

Abs-TRACT of the 2nd skin fibrin attempts to help the body Re-voice its own voice buried somewhere within the dark space of our intestinal tract.
