i was given a spoken word/music piece to create art alongside, + so were ten others at woodland hills church here in st. paul, mn. the delightful reception was last friday + here are a few snapshots of this special evening. the piece i was given was called “soul sister” + here were my three visual responses to it:
soul sister by marsyl warren
spiritual ninja, underground warrior. her strength appearing out of vapor. soul planted deep. intense in her gentleness. love is her razor-like purpose. the strength of her mettle. forged by life’s mystery. i witness the slowly rising beauty. of turbulent springs of creativity. knowing and knowing. artist to artist. unspoken likeness. and intuitive harmony. yet two strengths, two spirits. gifts unique and shared. a page is turning. so the story continues. the book unfinished. the writer of all. is still working.
