"Voodling is not born from rules, except in some negligible cases; rather it is the rules that derive from voodling. This is why there are many kinds and genres of true rules as there are kinds and genres of true voodlers."

" One can never discover or learn any art unless the pleasure of learning and the desire of discovering really moves" (one), muses Sam Renseiw (paraphrasing, again) while contemplating compilation(s) of some years of perambulations, soon to be laid forth for further public scrutiny.

"As soon as a person appears who has something primitive about him, so that he does not say " one must accept the world as it is [...] but says " However the world is, I shall retain an originality which I do not mean to alter in accordance with the world's wishes" : At the moment these words are heard, the whole of existence is transformed. As in the fairy-tale, when the word is spoken, the castle opens after being enchanted for a hundred years, and everything comes to life: so existence turns into sheer attention."

Re-framing recent footage from two exquisite locations in Frogner/Oslo, Sam Renseiw pondered on the exuberance of the introverted ontological nature of space phenomenology.

On voodling ontology

A voodler - and, I believe, generally all persons - must think that whatever happens to him or her is a resource. All things have been given to us for a purpose, and an artist must feel this more intensely. All that happens to us, all is given to us as raw material, as clay, so that we may shape our art; Voodling is nothing more than a guided dream... Life itself is a quotation."

Continuing his quest for a plausible voodle ontology, Sam Renseiw took a short detour to the north, for a friendly and very inspiring assessment of visual bouts of Body and Space morphologies.
