Miles Johnston’s graphite portraits distort and intertwine subjects to visualize metaphors of the body
“We don’t directly experience the actual biochemical facts of what is happening in our bodies, hormones secreting, weird little proteins and neurons doing whatever it is they do. Instead, we have a whole language of expressions like stomach tied up in knots, feeling empty, torn in two, burning with anger, etc… I’m aiming for this sort of naive direct representation of what things feel like instead of a literal representation of how they look from the outside.” ~ Miles Johnstonon

‏" لن يفتقدك أحد
‏مادمت لا تعني له شيء هذا مارأيته
‏ في الذين أحببتهم كثيراً .!
‏-
‏-نجيب محفوظ

شَيءٌ مَا يَنقُصني, رُبما أمل, رُبما صديق, رُبما نسيان, رُبما أنَا"

- محمود درويش

أَنا الْذِي كُنْتُ مِنَّ الْحُبِ سَاخِرَاً
مَا لِي أَرْانِي فِي غَرَامِكَ وَاقِعَاً
أَنا الْذِي كُنْتُ عَنِ الْوِجْدِ مَازِحَاً
مَا لِي فِي يَّمِ عِيونِكَ غَارِقَـاً ؟

‏لا السيفُ يفعلُ بي ما أنتِ فاعلةٌ
‏و لا لقاء عدوي مثل لقياكِ
‏لو بات سهم من الاعداء في كبدي
‏ما نال مني ما نالتهُ عيناكِ.

‏عينِي لِغير جمالكِ لا تنظُرُ
‏وسواكِ في خاطري لا يخطُرُ
‏فإذا نطقتُ فَفِي حديث جمالِكِ
‏وإذا سكتُّ فَفِيكِ أتفكّرُ
