'portrait of 3 ladies sitting at a cafe'

NOTES
the ladies sketched in this drawing are 65 years of age+. age is not the observation but the evolution of human social networks alongside the greater mechanics of the everyday. the mystery of connection and disconnection over time - between people and the universal environment. geometric shapes are of interest to me, replacing parts of the human figure, and in particular the head representing a meeting of minds or a patchwork of human fabric weaving.

'mr and miss invisible'

I may accidently write about you
I may accidently pose like a tree and ponder thoughts of you

I may paint your face with a mask of blue
I may come to love you in a moment of truth

What is it exactly that pulls me towards you? her to him? him to her?
A dragging staggering crystal staff across three cities
A wall, a bridge, a golden cart , a spinning wheel
Spinning
Buttons of flounder that once kept her dress tight
Now gushing florin across the city night
Words never dreamt of, crushed by the hoof of a goat’s foot
The lust for nothing but the mere sight of you.
