“deep into the fleeting” is at least 3 years in the making. I started with an exploration of materials, pattern and textures and added in my love of textiles. I always thought of each piece (12) as pages in a book but something was missing. It finally came together when I thought of writing a poem to go with the the visual art...An invitation to experience beauty that takes hold of the imagination. Created from a love of patterns and textures by seeing the relationship between supposed disparate pieces. A space for slow reading and close looking. The words and the images converse with each other and prompt you, the reader, to take part. Each time evoking something new about the art. About you. (Shop)

bodiless
ideas
beyond dialogue
.
lie visible
experiencing

claiming this most

most powerfully
air
alters
.
enveloping
the cosmos
.
in song nourishing them
.
company resounded
circumstances replicated
.
listen
attention to this mystery
.
deep
into
the fleeting…
