Description
This self-portrait silhouette is full of "found poetry." I rescued a severely damaged and abandoned book and upcycled it into fine artwork, selecting a word here and there and piecing them into unique, original poems and stories. Here are a few samples (but not all) of my poetry in this piece:
"one raindrop fell,
and then many,
a perfect circle expanded
perhaps a little breathless
you chose this moment
to kiss me"
"she licked
some rain
from her lips
in slow-motion arcs
a sudden thought
a kiss. a smile.
memory"
"just dance.
crazed like fire-flies.
it was like a vision
it made me feel
sexy as hell."
"I was deeply in love with
my own idea of love."
And, surrounded by my swirling breath in gold paint: "I imagine no more words were necessary"
I highly recommend viewing the image close-up (by click on it) to see the detail and discover more of the poetry in this mixed-media paper collage.

Thanks, Bob! I've had it in mind for quite a while so it was fun to finally sit down, rip paper and glue. ;-)
