 The blue black of the dress perfectly contrasts with the light pink of the sea. Like a ghost walking on water, the garment draws you in. We mourn in our own ways, and memories keep returning, and so they should as lost love is not something to throw away. Lost spirts are always there to the sensitive individual. Keeping in contact with the spirts who have left our lifes is a natural way of remembering.

Great work Karenne, The form of the garment in an x-ray red, certainly creates a balance between body and sole. The intensity of the blooming colour of red suggesting the blood and life of the garment. The intence colour of the pigment is amazing for a digital image and proves the meduim is producing works by artists that equel the meduims of the past. I would like to see these works in a portfolio of, edge to edge prints. We all suffer loss in our lives and to approach this subject in a public forum is very brave. You have managed to pull my heart strings with this work well done, keep it coming.

ReplyThanks micheal the work has been incredebliy liberating so posting the work is a natural progression as i exhibited this work in melbourne recently. Up close raw bodice seems to be teeming with blood vessels which is undetectable in the reproduction shown here.I produced this work not long after my daughters prognosis it just flowed and progressed to a very physical discription of my emotions.

Reply"Electric essence in the night sky still touches as touched. The art of quality from tragedy, grief and loss - unequal destiny and unfairness! The big picture is big as touch is for eternity. Drifting clouds to clapping thunder and stricking lightning! Electric shock of the new? A visual hymn of the heart that touched me."

ReplyA rose is blue a rose is red but a rose that's black is a rare rose at that. If thisw is poetry in motion then Ill eat my hat. As I am not a poet.

ReplyHymn of the heart. You touched my heart 'til you burnt me; When life called and said I had to let you go... You glowed 'til your beauty scorched me- So much, did I tell you, did it show? I had to show you I could see you/ show you how... Promise me that you can see me, my bright darling: even now.

ReplyAll this poetry is killing me, George Bokowski wrote the poetry for the worker of the 1970's. Basically it was about the fantasy of the work place and how people feel they are falling in love, but in reality it's all a fantasy so don't leave your partner for poetry in the work place. Further reading his novel The Post Office.

ReplyCHARLES Bukowski,John. German-American and we're OZ artists and writers. Collaborating thru EPNPM. Poetry doesn't kill, dear John- poets do.My work sought to hail KR's beauty in face of such a situation.Please don't debase this!

ReplyI'm loving the poetry but lets get grounded.i found this comment after my daughters death
"Loss/Death No one escapes these,and its never easy and never quick to deal with them.The process is long and slow and subject to reversal.You really need family and friends at such times.You also need solitude.Very slowly the pain shifts into something radiant and calm,but you can't hurry the process." a palitative care nurse wrote this
And then there is the artist who publicly exposes oneself through art and puts personal feelings out there for discusion & comment.

ReplyThanks for the tip Charles Burowski the post office great laugh now onto his book Hollywood, excellent read, reminds me of Hunter S Tompson. Read a few of his poems a true ist that's for sure. If you like the beat writers then you'll love this guys work. Cheers

ReplyGreat fashion image the world of the history of the dress and the fashion statement of feminism. Do you feel tied to the dress cycle or is it the freedom to be a woman and wear the dress without the stigma of the western convention that only woman may wear the dress. The trouble with the arguement is the fashioned cat walk are about money. Like any artistic value in the 20th century money seems stronger than philoshopy. I like the three values of the repetition of the dress the change of colours. I like the idea of the arguement of the dress as a feminine discourse.
