MÉNDEZ

The following text appears in the two-page spread design. This work was presented at a lecture I gave in Amsterdam, NL, 1998, and is my description of an instant within intuition: “My mind rushing, oscillating from past to future-from memory to projection-in a flash of total awareness I am reminded of my body when suddenly for a little glitch in time I have insight into a ‘knowing in totality’ that resonates inside and beyond myself. In that miniscule instant-like a drop of water in a pond whose resonance first expands and then contracts-I dissolve into the wave that on its path grasps charges of energy. From one moment to the next I perceive beyond my physical sense. I am present and in action. And I listen, with a bit of fear and uncertainty, and incorporate the pulse into my rhythms and become the flow.”
