Unborn thoughts I and II are both sacks sewn out of tea dyed parchment paper that contain tiny
scrolls embedded like seeds into chestnut shells. On each of them you will find
one thought. Unborn as the seed. Unborn they are also in another sense: They are
all attempts at thinking, more than finished thought, experimental thinking in new ways.
Some of them are unpleasant enough
that I must say I am glad that they are still unborn and tugged away.
All the thoughts are concerned with life and death, most with questions about beginning life. - Here
we are at the 'unborn' topic again.
They are not easy to be read, too: Each is written in my own coding system. This has two reasons. For
one I thought such private unborn thoughts should not be written in clear skript on a piece of
paper. The reader, if he really wants to know what is written there, will have to make an efford
to draw the meaning to the light.
And it is my general theory that writing as such has an inherent beauty that becomes only visible
when we cannot grasp the meaning of a word immediately by looking at it.
The parchment paper that was used to sew the bags and that of which the scrolls consist were dyed with black, green and peppermint tea. A red cotton sewing thread was used to tie the scrolls and sew the bags. The bags are machine sewn.
