Primordial Imprint: Images and Words, Poetry Reading


Dallas Public Library - J. Erik Jonsson Central Library

From the series of poetry and paintings : Primordial Imprint

Readings and images by the artist at the Central branch of the Dallas Public Library. 

“Family” is perhaps the most powerful, surely the first and most primal influence in defining who we are or who we imagine ourselves to be.   As we move further away from our youth the previous generation takes its exit one by one.  As we watch the cycle unfold we realize that "family" is beyond space and form.  We idealize the ones who have passed on, but are keenly aware that their influence, (for good or for ill), remains ever present. Families have always been a messy business. Our experiences range from love, anger, joy, frustration, jealousy, ambivalence, compassion. It's all there. We can’t run from who we are and a large part of who we are lays at the feet of these experiences.  This poetry and paintings serve as a vehicle for remembrance, gratitude and closure.
