Hope Restored 23
Nomas* Projects

Enrobed in virgin flesh
he forms and fills
until,
wrapped in tissue,
this precious gift,
whose whisper issued light,
is borne down
from hidden place.

He crowns,
and,
still umbilically bound,
is violently pushed out
onto a patch of borrowed floor.

A moment's silence
then
he, with knit together lungs,
at last draws breath
from fetid air
and calls once more to life.

Much of my art explores processes by which a thought, idea, image or space is made visible between artist and audience. Within all that there is also a consideration of the nature of words, objects and images to affect knowledge, interpretation, understanding and beliefs.
