The Ledge on the Sea
We waste so much energy
our lives and our props
the ocean mocks
how futile these things are
by devouring the rocks
leave your humanity here
on the ledge
overlooking the sea
the smoothed enclaves
the boom and crash
the history of stone
like an exposed bone
worn
and weathered
by the crack of the lash
you hold these thoughts like talismans
close to your chest
even though you have no need for such things ...
through your body
vibrations move like water
the waves
burst
over the stones
the black of the reef
exposed by white foam
2009 student exhibition - my ceramic pieces
Titled Full Fathom Five after the quote from Shakespeare's Tempest, this work is inspired by shipwrecks and skeletal forms. I love the way the sea corrodes and reclaims man-made forms merging them with nature and giving them nuances of meaning.
