What do you know about being addicted to heroin? What's living in your body feel like?
Do you suppose everyone experiences physical sensation the same way? What are we doing when we look at things? How visceral is sight?
Maybe the reason a lot of people go into the subject of spirituality when they write about Jack's paintings (finally) is because he dwells in the physical experience of inhabiting his body. It is a corporeal point of view. He's a physical painter and the activity is not a cerebral activity. It might as well be grooming or sport or sex. There's an involvement of body, muscle, stamina, and making the materials of paint, wood and scrapers as a kind of rumination on the passing of time.
Film can show the movement of the process.
I'm missing a body life. The best thing that could happen would be that this computer would die.
