The Sheer Holdless Precipice:
Portrait of Lewis Thompson
Acrylic on paper
23 x 30 inches
2003

"On a sheer holdless precipice, with an indescribable sensation
one no longer knows which is up and which is down.
'Horizontally', there is only perfect, purposeful 'floating'­presence in absence (or vice versa),
the life of a ghost: one's existence no longer bites or gears anywhere,
the will has experienced that it depends upon illusion: turned to ashes, it cannot build itself up again.
This 'floating' is the unmeasurable 'sensation', horizontally, of the Unconditional Vertical."

Lewis Thompson
