With Derrida there is an increased viscosity of the text, it flows easier , it flows further. This is what is useful for art, this freedom of interpretation and meaning, of language, that flows that trickles down between the cracks. That can bleed and saturate. With the ‘bleeding through’ motif, the meaning can seep, can creep and separate out into the granular. In chemistry there is the practice of ‘Chromatic Separation’ with colours, where they can be added to one end of paper and let to creep up paper separating out into their residual parts. This can also be witnessed in Derrida's approach to writing, a ‘chromatic separation of meaning’ though the viscosity of text , by liberating it from the rigid structures that are not real, meaning production is liberated.
Then in Spectres of Marx, Derrida talks of the ‘Spectres’ presence being elusive, they carry the past with them, yet they are neither present nor the past manifest, they have an essence of the future as they can continue to appear but there is no control over how or when they will appear. Their nowness is fluid, their presence their bodily corporeal presence is a mystery. Then in addition Derrida talks of the desire to localise the dead through our mourning.
Looking at UvR's work there is a mourning to her work, there is a funeral feel in the dark wood, the large wooden forms are like sarcophagi, cases, vessels.
She admits that there is a sense of the body in the work, in the scale, gestures, bodily presence ‘room for a body’. Almost trying to contain or localise something that is elusive. Is UvR trying to localise her being, her belonging, which she is mourning for, yet it is elusive.
UVR - "I think it's equally important that it envelopes the human, becauses it's tall and it's wide. That somehow when you can embrace the body, you can aslo embrace the psyche more effectively". Rydingsvard von Ursula
Spatial relationship to her belonging: Spatial temporal, spatial physical and spatial conceptual. Almost like trying to reincarnate something - bring it back, reanimate. But is that what she's trying to do or am I missing something?

Talking about her making - beautiful dialogue.
