In the Garden #2
2024 12X9" (includes black wood frame, 14x11") This piece was inspired by a poem by Danusha Laméris, from her book of poems, Bonfire Opera. Shared here with the author's permission. WORKING IN THE GARDEN, I THINK OF MY SON Who is nothing, now, but a few fistfuls of ash. Not even that, since ash dissolves and is taken into the bodies of plants, or swept into the air on the wind. He’s so very fine he slips undetected through a whale’s baleen, or a beetle’s gullet. He can even rise through a stalk of grass with the upward pull of phloem in these first green days of spring. He has no use, now, for the soft black hair through which I would run a slender comb, nor for his oddly shaped thumbs. Nor anything in this world. Though the things of the world may have use of him, his molecules filtering through them --- carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, a whisper of hydrogen --- the modest building blocks of life, quietly, and without announcement. $ 385.00 Purchasing information: This textile work is available.
