in a kiss? what’s…

A Kiss is still not just a Kiss

That is - a Kiss is an osculatory gallimaufry of abstraction and notional relationships in which a form of Touch known as Kiss takes place through the Agency of a Person or Persons using as an Instrument a Part - Lips - in an appropriate Manner - Tenderly - so in terms of a pedagogic notation or bony grammar a mental model simulation or prototype is assembled which draws attention as much to the path toward formation as to Form itself - in a way consonant with Klee’s Callio-paean to expressive practice - ‘Ingres is said to have created an artistic order out of rest : I should like to create an order from feeling and going still further from motion’
