Composition With Poetry #4 is one of my favorites. I’ve always loved larger canvases, but the 12″x12″ format has become one of my preferred sizes. Beneath the calm blue surface lie layers of chaotic color, collage, and drawings giving the painting a depth and richness that can’t be achieved any other way. Bits of the under layers peek through, like the windows referenced in the poem, but it’s the words themselves are what bring the painting together and give it its intention.
The original poem reads:
When power feeds upon injustice,
Art becomes a language of conflict,
and the language becomes a way through.
Standing for what is right
is to stand unbroken,
with creation in your hands,
offering windows while
others bring walls.
