ANDREAS ERIKSSON
Painting operates at night and through the day. She is hard as fluorescent lighting and soft as lead.
Painting is so strong, but she can be weak as well. She is stronger than the military.
You can’t turn your back on her.
Painting walks around everywhere, climbs rocks and plays dead in the midst of rectangles.
Some people take her remains into their houses, while others lock her up in secret basements, wrapped.
If she pops up, don’t look.
Be very careful but never afraid. And have no personal interests.
She drinks turpentine. And eats pig bristles.
