poema 6

I’m excited to be here breaking in this new virtual space! I will speak out aloud, fleshing out my ideas for projects and respond to stimuli from the around the world around me. To show this will not be a dry toast bread ‘art blog’ I will also share my writing, my journal drawings on occasion, and of course the development of various personal works.

Images from the pieces on display at Vino Vixens coming soon!

Poema 6 :

Slip me down, underground where all the roots grow

Let me speak in rain drops

Let them whisper

Heart beats,

Children chattering,

Dreams untold

Sinking deeper

I am close

Enough to taste

She is everywhere

I am there

With her

A newborn awoken in haste

I can feel the wind blowing

Sweetly

From the room across the hall

Tell me about the last time you died

In the arms of sleep


The axe blade slipping in his teeth

Red candle wax was dripping

Fractal patterns on my skin

I am naked in the garden delighting in my sin

From beneath and from above

I reached for that apple

It was love

Then the storm it came

With sheets of rain

Into wooden long boats we were cast

To drift at sea you and me

Till the last salty tear was cried at last

Nevertheless she undressed

And jumped into the water

I reached and reached but the boat just creaked

Sun setting in her eyes

Quickly she sank

Beneath the waves to live alone by the mermaid graves

Again I implore

Slip me down underground to sleep by that sea shore

At night we wake and dance together

The moon, the stars, the ocean waves

Hand in hand

By the sand

Our spirits waltz and dine together.

Art card swap #2

I recently participated in my first art therapy-artist trading card swap. I was once again gently reminded by this activity of the awesome power of making spontaneous art. Truly art gives us what we need to survive emotionally and spiritually. Despite being a dedicated studio artist I feel that I’m often asleep to what I really need inside. Yet this simple and meaningful task reminded me of what I do best which is to create from within. Am happy with how my cards turned out and I am a bit surprised at how peaceful they look. The themes that emerged within my cards are those that seem to have stuck with me during my graduate training thus far which are keeping a drawing journal, breathing, listening, and observing. The guiding theme for the artist trading card swap was collage unleashed so I brought it back to some old school fun by scanning three dimensional objects ( including my face), collaged items, packing tape, text in black ball point pen, and of course some iridescent fabric...
