Since this series of pieces is still being created, the concepts behind the work will continue to evolve. Text on this page will change as the artwork nears completion. At this stage it is easiest for me to explore these concepts through a poetry format, which allows me to more freely associate words and concepts with my visual art.

​

Subsumed

​

The inveitable descent

As a woman

As feminine

 

Avian screams through constricted throats

Sheaves of torn paper

Litter the floor

 

We plummet

We fling ourselves towards the inevitable

Awareness streaming

When one’s identity is stitched from

Expectations, ideals,

Distorted reality

Nothing can hold us together

Not really

 

Slick stretching tendons

Vital agressions

Lungs sacked of air

 

Distorted

Dissolved

Distrusting

Disgusted

Our tenuous skins shear off, flay bare

Sinews will hold

Struggling to reverse the inevitable flow

Of some uncontrollable gravity.
