Filaments and traces

Poet Sara Sprague Knight came to my studio one afternoon and camped out in the hopes of finding words to connect with my work. I went about my duties as if she wasn't there and she left a few hours later with the origins of her poem, Limn. As soon as Sara had the poem penned I got busy animating the words. I felt that keeping it simple and straightforward was the best route. Hand stamped text and very minimal visuals seemed to fit. The installation at the Project Space at the University of Rhode Island brings the text and images together full circle.

Limn (L’hymne)

Darkness has come home

to retrieve light.

Filamentous,

susurrant.

—sss...SSsssss....ssss—

avidity gets you braided into

the beyond.

You’re here, right?

the frame, the glaze—

the open mouth
(get closer)

sporulating

engorged, burgeoning caps

ejaculate like stars
and you are once again

the bliss of nothing.
