Sustinare - 'to hold' (2021) 

time in grain,
taken in from the air,
in water, absorbed
particulates, held
the matter of human beings

grown, gifts
in ignorance
of interconnection
still, held for us
treasure, life

sanding process (2016)

As I sand, I reveal the sensed-stories in the slices of tree. It takes time and the sandpaper acts like a needle on vinyl and both colour and sound emerge. I am wary of sanding too much away in case something is lost

layers of old stories, absorbed 
in water and carbon
I hear
the sounds of passers by
sped up and
dense

in the air
I try to give space
to un pack the molecules
so I might distinguish
what happened
time opens

oil – glass

recycled paper – words – oil – pencil

silk – colour

water – oils
