entwined and obscure - a reading for Wendy Bown - Lloyd Godman

Stepping through a new dance, the intricate lace of life
A spin in this direction, a step in that,
Suddenly the delicacy of fine work normally hidden secrets,
entwined and obscure
is exposed, placed in full view.
A slice through the abject viewed as the exquisite
Like a magical box it is opened up, the contents revealed,
laid flat to the light for the eye to read through deeper and deeper details.
To worlds and layers below

With the larger context gone
diminished to the extent where the abstract emerges
Its easy to be seduced by the colour the texture
Natural forces prevail, a delicate fabric marcoed for n examination,
a reaction
vibrations of form, light, colour, structure, tactility reduced to a single plane
placements bounced across for each other now remain
the beauty of the organic structure before decay

the linking of lines adrift in space, tying the knot on a range of levels….
here a common point, a touch, a grip, a firm hold on tight to life’s line before the distance throws it out of focus and its lost like it once used to be

cells peeled apart in the honesty of daylight, droplets perch spheres to a larger outside world.
The organic world reigns supreme
