POETRY ABOUT THIS PIECE:
From a series of photographs Printed on hand treated pastel paper As I figured and coated it to hold The ink of a printer, as it held the clarity As imperfectly perfect as possible Letting this series sit For years and years until I felt the courage To truly become the mixed media artist I knew I always wanted to be Featuring the hands of a man Who lead me to a lot of doors As he cracked them open For me to peak into to learn More about myself Instead of peaking I would leap head first Normally falling a bunch Making a mess As he would fade away To discover another door I intend with this new moon To integrate what it means To slow down in the space between For more mindful steps Ensuring my foundation solid As well as pausing to create Safety and sweetness in my steps As I see those I look to Trusting the pause and that moment Not rushing into oblivion Like a tight rope Walker But rather, a wholly worker Carrying all of themselves Just as this man has shown me From afar over the years These hands : Clay Patrick McBride Initiating my series I wish to slowly and sweetly Honor as I heal from disordered eating For real this time So it doesn’t pop up with a mask Of another vice within some Thing / one / where / why / way As I trust in my commitment To take my extended Shabbat From the controlling my life As I restore to vitality + strength While I tend to the dis-ease I’ve carried my whole life
