Drawings (2005 - 2008) > Blooming without Savage You

2008

Total of six drawings
Graphite, ink and mineral pigment on paper
30”x22” each

Created at the Millay Colony for the Arts where Edna St. Vincent Millay lived and wrote poetry for 25 years. These drawings are titled after a line from Millay’s poems. Fierce and strangely beautiful with determination to bloom no matter what.

Not for these lovely blooms that prank your chambers did I come
Not for these lovely blooms that prank your chambers did I come
Not for these lovely blooms that prank your chambers did I come, detail
Not for these lovely blooms that prank your chambers did I come, detail
Your laughter pelts my skin with small delicious blows
Your laughter pelts my skin with small delicious blows
Your laughter pelts my skin with small delicious blows, detail
Your laughter pelts my skin with small delicious blows, detail
And you did so profane me when you crept
And you did so profane me when you crept
And you did so profane me when you crept, detail
And you did so profane me when you crept, detail
Dig, dig; and if I come to ledges, blast
Dig, dig; and if I come to ledges, blast
Dig, dig; and if I come to ledges, blast, detail
Dig, dig; and if I come to ledges, blast, detail
I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly
I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly
I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly, detail
I shall be sweet and crafty, soft and sly, detail
Tell elms, my roots go down as deep as yours into this soil
Tell elms, my roots go down as deep as yours into this soil
Blooming without Savage You
