Stelae
This image/text series from 2022 is built on preparatory photographs for work on people and place which focused on the part of Oxfordshire in which I live. I have combined short extracts from a poem by Colin Pink, Stelae, that stood out for me when placed with the reference photographs and ideas from my studio research.
There is a Youtube video of the work, poem and music HERE. A PDF which includes all the images, the poem, and further information is available to download HERE.
-
the shining blade sharpens the mind
-
dancing on the lip of time
-
sudden shivers descend
-
a remembrance leaping into octaves of chronos
-
unleash this inattention fastened to the sound
-
then the shadows fall
-
sad notes stroked and broken
-
carry me up to the light
-
a faint trace in time
-
a path that is no longer there
-
once was never enough
-
nothing could ever stop
-
light blazes a moment
-
answering the beat without rhythm
-
tugging the sleeve of time
£ 250.00 -
cast from the light
-
step on the sacred unable to compass it
-
unexpected fall into blind embraces
£ 250.00 -
a quiet voice barely heard
