— This reminds me of what Vera told you...
— I hoped you forgot that.
— “Yours must be the most elaborate artistic procrastination”,
she said.
— But there is a point to it: the program downloads a random
image off the Internet and punctures a hole in it. By the time I first
get to see it, exactly half the image is already missing. I then draw
into the hole. I try to remember the missing half for the first time.
— OK, so it’s like coffee residue, tea leaves, inkblots?
— Except drawing into the hole rather cruelly reveals some
of the absent memories as memories of absences.
— Then it’s like the blind spot, or rather, its opposite: the
blind spot is a hole you do not see because it is absent “without
edges”, whereas filling in by drawing into the hole in the picture reveals the memory as nothing but “edges”.
— Do you find these edges in writing?
