Trying to be brave and add a little paint when I’m assembling these little collages. From a series in which each piece includes a fragment from a 1930s children’s textbook. 4” x 4” collage on canvas panel.
Square collage assembled from magazine and catalogue scraps in hues of metallic gold and red , plus some mulberry paper and a ticket to a public pool. Images include a a sliver of a watch and the textbook fragment which reads “a mistake he sometimes makes”. Canvas is painted light gold with antique gold markings.

Lost Couplet

When I die, let my body be donated to silence.
The final noise: when I'm clothed in ground.

Sparrows asleep inside a glass violin.
Bells with their throats cut.

The song went: plenty, plenty. I've plenty of bones.

Soft Machinery

Drowned lilies in a basin behind chapel doors.
The feeling of a snail crawling down the throat.

Of history, is it the metaphor or the body that dies?
The float of seasons, a widening orbit, the book older and stranger.

Standard are the ways we hurt each other, however slowly it may make us.
