Prompt: “Think in fragments”

Madhura Srinivas

“My life and my work in the past few years have been about gathering fragments of memories and stitching it all into a whole. These little bits that sit in different timelines of my existence all make me more of who I am. In this pursuit, I am no longer an artist who thrived in fragmented thought but someone who marinates in connecting all these dots to see more and including what's beyond and integrate all. Just the way it is, however it is. I am afraid I'm no longer an artist. I feel no need to bleed onto a canvas like I could a few years ago.”

“I had this dream, many years ago now, where I was out in a field being tortured, or was about to be tortured.  I knew, specifically, my fingers would be the first target.  This seems to be a common place to start in torture...fingernails, fingers.  I was terrified in the dream, and shut my eyes as hard as I could, and remembered a place I felt safe.  I focused on and imagined the tiles on the floor of the bathroom of the house I was living in at the time.  I imagined placing my hands on the cool tiles.  I felt in every part of me that I was there in that bathroom.  When I opened my eyes, my hands were planted firmly on the tiles of the bathroom.  I was so relieved.  This happens to me often in dreams.  Body horror, terror, enough lucidity to escape a nightmare.  I emailed my husband this dream, before he was my husband.  He immediately noted the Lacanian concept of the fragmented body, or corps morcelé.  As for the song?  What are splinters, but fragments?  I do know that fragments and layers are not the same.”
