005. Surface

More time to catch up, over a long weekend, with the dizzying display of work that I stumbled across when I was first introduced to the project (on day 11), one of the pieces that caught my eye then, and I have searched for since, was "A clean (enough) slate" by Sina Bo Bina. I loved the idea of the broken surface, and had just returned from Israel, where my image of the surface of the Dead Sea comes from, and also building on my practicemakesperfect post with the piece below.

surface splits, dividing and fractal                                                                                    

finger under the surface. pulled                                                                                    

epidermis the skin of the earth pushes                                                                                    

the natal fluid, flows to the edge                                                                                    

gasps and dries. crusted coral                                                                                    

polyps too stubby to function,                                                                                    

cracked chasms and dessicated                                                                                    

corruption, my new face
