A poem created in response to Let’s Talk Art and Music, an award winning assemblage created for King Street Arts’ Rhythm: Art in Conversation with Music exhibition (October 2022). The text is collaged onto the back of the artwork.

Let’s Talk Art and Music

Vital organs

heart and soul

breath of life

speak and sing

mouths to touch

hands to play

instruments

of joy and love

to ride the waves

seeking those

rivered minds

creative

melodic

rushing

a deluge

connecting

clutching

a brush

sometimes

with death

but then

all stops pulled out

and like a pinball shot through the universe

ideas bounce

ring bells

resonate

converse

between

the seen

the heard

and all things made.
