Words

from compost to rot, 

words placed together 

(composed)


are but apparently futile endeavours that are indicate glimpses of the sacred


reconfigured everyday notions


encounters between object and invisible phenomena


mining of personal 

and public discourse

from secluded chambers to the mind


Words Are Islands Are Mountains - 


memories of people and landscapes, colours, forms

what they left behind inevitably changing

composed into agile renditions of temporary repairs to memory


Words, like a clock suggesting specific routes for the viewers to follow in a spiritual resolve

Through a world broken, tragic and tumultuous, hollow

Where the word can meander through twists and turns


Words open up new routes to “surrealist” strata, 

such as delirium, enigma, paranoia and poetry, 

to avoid simplistic apprehensions of what is real and built around our naked sins.


Words


each word detailed in imagery of a path that mirrors a deep spiritual tragedy


lamenting the world left behind by thought


invoking a layered perception of places 


and other warehouses of religious architecture


Words


signify reservoirs that avow ancestral memory puzzles


contrasting interventions and playful gestures


unexpected forms that foster fresh mysteries


at first glance strangely familiar but strange


Words 


mystery and matter delivered in a rush of poetic illumination


that power of words to be reborn


to create emancipatory images for new stories of the dead


“as if everything were born in me or as if I were born in everything.” *
