Remembrance of "De Loteling"

At least 35 years ago, I was spending a few weeks at my parents' (in Belgium), when I saw a movie that has been with me ever since.
"De Loteling" (The Conscript, http://www.ximon.nl/Films/de-loteling/141590) is a Belgian movie based on a tragic story written by Hendrik Conscience.
The movie "uses" Handel's music beautifully, and its tragic heroin, Katrien, is made real by an actress (Ansje Beentjes) who has also stayed with me ever since,
Indeed, each time I hear Handel's organ concerto Op. 7, nº5, especially its second movement, I immediately revisit many of the movie's most poignant scenes (or rather they revisit me) as well as re-living so much of what was my life at the time.

Music is often for me a trigger for moments of "recovered time" ("le temps retrouvé" in French), moments which attain a level of "credibility" that supersedes "ordinary" time, moments I attempt to make visible -shareable- through my work.

When lucky, "it's all madeleines to me!"
;-)

So here's yet another sketch, another step away from the fallacy of photo-realism (which infects not only "figurative" imagery, but so-called "abstract" imagery as well) and deeper into the world that was mine when still able to use natural media (forbidden now by allergies), that of elusive and undifferentiated form, traces of what happens when I no longer know what I am doing but persist with utmost care "anyway," witnessing the birth of "images" I would never be able to produce intentionally.

Accidents, yes, definitely, but as I have already stated: "this" accident, not "that" one!
