DETAILS: Exciting times in Portugal. Many thanks indeed to Sal Nunkachov for publishing Ashes to Ashes and inviting the work into your events. It's very exciting to see ash poetry projects find the perfect home and be a part of wide-ranging events, books fairs, and book launches by artists I truly admire. #vispo #byMaggsVibo
DETAILS: Y[ear] of the Rabbit is a continuation of my lunar new year vispo Zodiac series started in 2020. My ears (unlike the other art pieces) is wearable art. My family celebrated by treating ourselves to dim sum at Chinatown, snacking on jian dui (fried sesame balls) and feeding money or blessings to the lions during the lion dance. #crowdfundingcampaign DETAILS: Read the message from #AmandaEarl of #AngelHousePress I’m Amanda Earl, the fallen angel of AngelHousePress, a defiant feminist press I established in 2007. After over a decade of publishing chapbooks, we switched to focusing on our online publications only. While publishing chapbooks meant we gave complementary copies to the contributors, and half price on additional copies, we didn't offer compensation to contributors to our online publications. I promised myself that one day, I would change that. #soldout #ticketsnolongeravailable
DETAILS: The Honourable Dame Karen Pierce, British Ambassador to the United States and UNITINGUS.ORG, an American nonprofit that uses Integrative Arts to promote healing, wellness, and community invite you to the Allied Arts Exhibition. Artists from the United Kingdom and the United States join together to honor a British/American commitment for peace and to recognize the power of Art to heal both mind and body while building stronger allegiances at the individual, community, and national levels. #canvasrebelmagazine #interviews
DETAILS: Many thanks to Jennifer Salazar, editor of Canvas Rebel Magazine, for interviewing me for an upcoming feature. It was fun to share my work and the reasons I use themes centered around folk horror in my art. It was also a joy to nominate 5 artists I hope to see featured in upcoming issues. Good Stuff! |
DEAR READER
Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.
