whooper swans

the turning maples

nearly as loud

devil winds

someone's world

on fire

cultivating

this garden acreage

my hands

rejoice in working

the soil you once tilled

nightingales

once lived in this hazel

I still miss

the soothing cadence

of my father's voice

air traffic

an oodle of gannets

the buck squeezes through

one antler at a time

Artist's Statement:

Warp and Weft - Woven Paper Series

Warp (lengthwise yarns) and weft (crosswise yarns), refer to the two basic components of weaving. I enjoy repurposing earlier work to create something greater than the sum of its parts. These paper weavings are crafted from archival prints of my abstract photography exhibition (2010), and the single-line poems are made with words culled from my book,  Warp and Weft: Tanka Threads (Keibooks, 2015). The images are printed on cold-pressed watercolour paper to enhance the textural resemblance to fabric. I use colour therapy in my daily art practice to stimulate endorphins that help mitigate the effects of chronic illness. This series is a personal testament to the healing power of art.

in the dust of dreams

passed down to me
