Sloppy Scrawlings and such....

The work below examines the relationship between art and the bleakness that is confronted by the artist. The work in its creation serves as a reminder to the artist; his/hers confrontation to the absurdity of this given life;


Scrawl

In my sloppy scrawl
I scratch these words
that help to convey
my position in this absurdity.

Beckett knew, as did
Magritte, to confront
the bleakness
there is art and humor
coinciding on the chosen
canvas.

So that we
may come to see ourselves–
the thinness, transparency–
like a woman’s subtle
stocking that hides no leg
and reveals the intimate
vulnerability...
