Here are my light sculptures as light boxes. They are welded wire and fabric constructions with integrated lighting. I invented "fabric burning", a technique that consists of melting small holes in synthetic fabric with a soldering iron. This is often combined with sewn photocopies on acetate of images and maps. Prices show when pieces are still available. Others can be inspiration for future commissions.

Pris et protégé et condamné par la mer
Je flotte au creux des houles
Les colonnes du ciel pressent mes épaules
Mes yeux fermés refusent l’archange bleu
Les poids des profondeurs frissonnent sous moi
Je suis seul et nu
Je suis seul et sel
Je flotte à la dérive sur la mer
J’entends l’aspiration géante des dieux noyés
J’écoute les derniers silences
Au-delà des horizons morts
(Alain Grandbois)

El viento en la isla
El viento es un caballo:
óyelo cómo corre
por el mar, por el cielo.
Quiere llevarme: escucha
cómo recorre el mundo
para llevarme lejos.
Escóndeme en tus brazos
por esta noche sola,
mientras la lluvia rompe
contra el mar y la tierra
su boca innumerable.
Escucha como el viento
me llama galopando
para llevarme lejos.
Con tu frente en mi frente,
con tu boca en mi boca,
atados nuestros cuerpos
al amor que nos quema,
deja que el viento pase
sin que pueda llevarme.
Deja que el viento corra
coronado de espuma,
que me llame y me busque
galopando en la sombra,
mientras yo, sumergido
bajo tus grandes ojos,
por esta noche sola
descansaré, amor mío.

I am Blood (detail)
Eye of the Cyclop
#70 on top 500 poets
Bogland
for T. P. Flanagan
We have no prairies
To slice a big sun at evening--
Everywhere the eye concedes to
Encrouching horizon,
Is wooed into the cyclops' eye
Of a tarn. Our unfenced country
Is bog that keeps crusting
Between the sights of the sun.
They've taken the skeleton
Of the Great Irish Elk
Out of the peat, set it up
An astounding crate full of air.
Butter sunk under
More than a hundred years
Was recovered salty and white.
The ground itself is kind, black butter
Melting and opening underfoot,
Missing its last definition
By millions of years.
They'll never dig coal here,
Only the waterlogged trunks
Of great firs, soft as pulp.
Our pioneers keep striking
Inwards and downwards,
Every layer they strip
Seems camped on before.
The bogholes might be Atlantic seepage.
The wet centre is bottomless.
I am Blood
... i am water
i am blood
i am the hot rum leaking from green...
Kamau Brathwaite
Born in 1930, Barbados.

How to See Deer (Woodland version)
31 1/2" x 21" x 3"
How to See Deer, Woodland (detail and poem)
Forget roadside crossings. Go nowhere with guns. Go elsewhere your own way, lonely and wanting. Or stay and be early: next to deep woods inhabit old orchards. All clearings promise. Sunrise is good, and fog before sun. Expect nothing always; find your luck slowly. Wait out the windfall. Take your good time to learn to read ferns; make like a turtle: downhill toward slow water. Instructed by heron, drink the pure silence. Be compassed by wind. If you quiver like aspen trust your quick nature: let your ear teach you which way to listen. You've come to assume protective color; now colors reform to new shapes in your eye. You've learned by now to wait without waiting; as if it were dusk look into light falling: in deep relief things even out. Be careless of nothing. See what you see.
