Tales from the Other Side of Language 139 .... into another world. It isn’t the image I had in mind; it’s scope is far larger. The portrait affirms magnificence. Now, now I can see transformation. My life too is messy, surprising, and … stunning. I make more portraits, counting on mess and happenstance. I like what I see. They are awesome in their strangled, painful beauty. I make abstractions from the patterns my vessels make, playful, alive.
140 Ruth Codier Resch Without Utterance: Art is like meditation. I don’t have to be talented or strive for nirvana. I simply practice and practice what gives me pleasure, anything that will hone in on challenging my hurt brain. I feel the beauty of the vessels in the portraits crossing my face and inside my head know their awesome flexibility in my life. They have moved through the tissues in my brain, reshaped their space, and gone where there was need. The vessels nourished the damaged tissues of my brain to make new brain. I was alone when I was without words, and then I was blown through a doorway by my heart with love for my daughter. In the company of so many others, material and non-material, I have moved in non-word places. Without the landscape of utterance, I’ve unearthed treasures, wreathed and adorned myself with an extravagance of sensory languages. Dressed in them, I’ve gone to the heart of what is … and pressed toward the edges of what can be. I’ve moved in spaces where mystery collides with mind and melts into vision.
