The FIRE OF EMOTIONS saga has not had its last, very fast word. After a journey into the cosmos (GENESIS), a dive into the ocean (THE ABYSS), a return to land (PALM PARK RUINS), NIAGARA 3000 will be a companion piece capable of accompanying all the others and, like all the others, of wandering from one digression to another along the paths of the artist’s thoughts.
« First I thought of tears as a hydraulic force. Tears as rivers.
I thought about running water and flowing water.
Then I thought of watersheds and underground rivers and all those turbines.
