City Lights

City Lights - Cut Paper Art

LIGHT by Clement Wood
(from The White Peacock, copyright 1928)

Tea… and the wide driveways packed with
cars…
Doorman… wraps off… hostess… wide waxed
floors
Leading to windows ceiling the close indoors
Behind beckoning transparent bars….
And people, clotted like a swarm of stars
Centering the Milky Way: poor puzzled bores
Gaping at one another. The hostess pours
Her tepid fluid, with particulars
Of this frivolous scandal, that surprising
Nothing…. The vacant faces blur and sway,
Lifeless in their attitudinizing….
And then, into this void, this vacuous nay,
My glad eyes see you come, like Sirius rising,
Like a moon rising, like the sun rising into day.

Upcoming Greeting Card Publication

Sending to You - Paper cutting

“Sending to You” – Cut Paper Art
This is one of two paper cut designs of mine that are going to be published as greeting cards by Artists To Watch. According to their website (artiststowatch.com), “Artists to Watch is an award-winning, greeting card company. For 25 years we have been publishing the work of talented and independent artists from around the world, crafting high quality cards that meld visually intriguing images with thought provoking words.” They use recycled paper for their cards and print with soy-based inks. The catalog with my cards should be coming out in a few weeks for orders for early 2011. I’ll keep you up-to-date.
