FROM THE ASHES

REVERSE BUTCHER

2/17/2022

 
Picture
In these intricately made, vibrant collages, ReVerse Butcher uses a variety of materials and tools from glue and scissors to VR and 3-D modelling software. Through her own invention, the kaleidoscopic erasure, rVb toys with perceived realities, linearity, gender, religion and possibly even time itself. There’s a tension between geometric precision and disrupted message; between the treatment of text as an authority one should obey to rVb’s playful cut-ups, distortions, drawings and red-lining. Words are presented forwards, backwards, upside down and sideways. They merge with each other and split apart to disorient the reader, to make the reader take a closer look. Visual poems can be viewed all at once by the eye, then taken in by the brain. You can scroll through and adore the vibrancy, getting a gander at individual isolated words such as “immoral” or “powerful.” Or you can view through the kaleidoscope and see the words move and dance, join and separate. This is kinetic and original work. - Amanda Earl, editor of Judith Women Making Visual Poetry (Timglaset Editions, 2021). Paperback, full colour, 210mm x 210mm. 40 visual poems and an afterword by Lyn Ashby, book artist and writer based in Melbourne."

    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.​
