My project of clearing out/organizing the studio/art storage continues and is generating some rich new collage materials. Namely recycled paintings. Today’s piece is one such repurposed (treasured but ill conceived) painting. The painted images coincided with recent musings about global warming, weather patterns, and the Mars Rover landing.
Earth the planet
Earth my home
Earth where I sit now
Eyes open. . . on the surface
Eyes closed. . .out where
the turning edge is
visible
Out where the earth is
soft edges through swirling clouds
the ink of night
illumined by that cosmic inner
light that makes stars
makes us gasp Yes!
The stuff I’m made of.
A note about the symbol, an unfinished upside down (eastern) symbol for Earth, which turned into the (Christian etc) symbol for resurrection or Tau. Sometimes the most interesting part of art making comes after the end, when artifacts appear. Is the world headed for resurrection of sorts? One can hope.
