Stelae
This image/text series is built on the preparatory photographs for my work on people and place which focuses on the part of Oxfordshire in which I live. I have combined short extracts from a poem by Colin Pink, Stelae, that stood out for me when placed with the reference photographs and ideas from my studio research.
A PDF which includes all the images, the poem, and further information is available to download HERE.
-
the shining blade sharpens the mind -
dancing on the lip of time -
sudden shivers descend -
pacing the stave of memory -
a remembrance leaping into octaves of chronos -
unleash this inattention fastened to the sound -
then the shadows fall -
sad notes stroked and broken -
carry me up to the light -
a faint trace in time -
a path that is no longer there -
once was never enough -
nothing could ever stop -
light blazes a moment -
answering the beat without rhythm -
tugging the sleeve of time -
cast from the light -
step on the sacred unable to compass it -
unexpected fall into blind embraces -
a quiet voice barely heard -
