Poetry & Spoken Word
A series of Artist written pieces exploring the potential of text and voice to enhance, convey meaning, and expand the experiential narrative of the Artist's screen based works. The poetry forms of ekphrasis, anaphora, and free form phonaesthetics are employed within the current video and moving image body of work.
Memoria
Sorrow standing dark /
In rooted rhythm's measure /
Circle, sound, and eye, remark /
A votive veil descending /
To stipple the opened earth
Before A Truth
before a cloud became a stream
before a river became a sea
before a wave became a sound
before a song became unsung
before a voice became unheard
before a stone became a mark
before a truth became untold
This Dark Water
Shadows arrive /
Splendour cedes /
To a fire above /
Upon this dark water /
Shadows remain /

In Deserted Time
We depart lost lands with dubious promise /
following primitive instincts, mythic rite
a plaintive presage of deception,
of turbulent episode, seen in series /
those heralds heard, in so far denied
give urgency upon a signal, to cease
repeated verses of echoed duress /
dwelling in deserted time.
