A new series which ties together the sea and the cosmos as vast bodies that never touch. It is a poetic attempt to embrace glittering spectral bodies; at once our own and all else born of dead stars.
This work also includes a 16mm short film and an accompanying poem.
An ascension and sinking, swells
conjured between the divine
and the dark. The Two together apart
are a Sisyphean attempt
bigger than your house,
to posthumously finish building
a 55 foot skeleton, a boat frame.
Here, Fata Morgana breathes.
Due diction, a spectral fiction starts
in a ship's absence and ruin.
Atmospheres and celestial bodies never touch
the sea, but they swallow the vessel.
