Bonus points if you can name the poem that was used for those text fragments.

About Me
- B.Lee
- I've started this blog as catalog/display for my artwork, particularly my ongoing projects. At the moment, that means "Shell Game" (where I buy clothing, alter the clothing in ways that are not immediately perceptible, like lining a pocket with pink fake fur or painting on an underskirt, and then return the clothing in the hopes that my altered pieces will be resold and/or found, creating moments of the inexplicable, critiquing consumer culture, tricking people into buying art, etc.), "Post-it Books" (where I write stories on post-it notes, and stick them in library books in such a way that they entwine with and riff off of the original story), and my paintings (which are, well, paintings). I would say more about me in this "About Me", but the sneaky nature of some of my recent work begs a bit of stealth-mode. Suffice to say that I am very very good looking.
I <3 stapled birds - lovely contrast between medium and image/feeling!
ReplyDeleteThe poem is definitely some Larkin, but I can't quite place which one. I'm sure it has to do with aging and being alienated though...okay, that's just every poem of his except the Mower.
Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLarkin indeed. It is "Sad Steps", and yes, there is of course aging and being alienated:
"a reminder of the strength and pain
Of being young; that it can't come again,
But is for others undiminished somewhere."
At first i read the title of this post as "Devil Shots". I've never thought you would consider painting the devil, but if one comment on your blog can change your mind, let it be so!
