 CLICK ON IMAGE TO REVEAL DETAILS: This month I am beginning a series I've entitled "Revealing" to share websites and/or art by a favorite artist. These are artists you will want to follow if you aren't already! This particular piece by Orr is especially provocative (and rightly so). Orr either found a rubber stamp (or created a rubber stamp design) and designed a text and concept which speaks to the antiwar themes I share on my website. Just about everything I've tried to emulate with stamp poetry, I've learned from this artist. Learning highlight: the time Orr used a cookie to render a version of the pattern onto ink. If you want to learn many different art techniques, subscribe to Orr's YouTube Channel. Over the years, I've watched Orr use bits of debris to gather unique images (one-of-a-kind) stamp designs. For better or worse, it is because of Michael Orr that I have scoured cities for nasty marks worthy of sticking a piece of putty atop to gather an ink design. That time my husband watched in "dismay" as I just had to grab my putty for a manhole cover design from Modena...yep, all thanks to Orr (the things we'll do for art). In my defense: look at the process: Comments are closed.

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.
