# Playful water dreams 2

Water in dreams does not behave. It changes direction, shifts color, becomes land and then sky and then something without a name. This painting holds that logic: collaged fragments in warm red and ochre move against passages of cool neutral tone, and the composition has the pleasurable unpredictability of something followed without a plan. Corcelle's intuitive, spontaneous process is ideally suited to a subject like this one.

There is genuine play in the painting, not decorative playfulness but the real kind, where following a mark wherever it leads is the whole method. The result is a work that feels alive in the way that only things made in a state of genuine openness can feel.
