Artist's Comments

Cirque D'Hiver

Across the floor flits the mechanical toy,
fit for a king of several centuries back.
A little circus horse with real white hair.
His eyes are glossy black.
He bears a little dancer on his back.

She stands upon her toes and turns and turns.
A slanting spray of artificial roses
is stitched across her skirt and tinsel bodice.
Above her head she poses
another spray of artificial roses.

His mane and tail are straight from Chirico.
He has a formal, melancholy soul.
He feels her pink toes dangle toward his back
along the little pole
that pierces both her body and her soul

and goes through his, and reappears below,
under his belly, as a big tin key.
He canters three steps, then he makes a bow,
canters again, bows on one knee,
canters, then clicks and stops, and looks at me.

The dancer, by this time, has turned her back.
He is the more intelligent by far.
Facing each other rather desperately,
his eye is like a star,
we stare and say, "Well, we have come this far."

Achei o detalhe da expressão e das marcas de "força" no pescoço muito bem caracterizadas. É com esses detalhes que os trabalhos ganham a verdadeira "grandeza". Belo trabalho.

Different style. We can "feel" the anguish. Nice composition.

Adorei a imagem, está forte, mostra raiva, desespero e uma luta contra o tempo de se tentar libertar após tanto tempo presa...
A força exercida sobre a máscara e o pano que a envolve será de certo recompensada no futuro, pois o que outrora foi o leito e acolheu-a de momento nada mais será que apenas uma casca, que a prende, como se de um casulo se tratasse... está na hora de dar às asas, de voar e deixar para trás o que o cordão umbilical ligara!

Esta é a minha leitura à tua foto...

I hope everything's ok with you, my dear.

Different is good. It shows "will" to change. And change in your case is knowledge. And the hability to express it in this case threw art e gift in it's own way.

You truely "rock", and I am enchanted by this.

For you :blackrose:

Agradeço-te o olhar mais demorado sobre esta foto. Acho que nunca me senti tão retratada como neste caso, sinto-me feliz por ter conseguido passar o que me vai cá dentro.

É sempre tão bom para mim ler o que tu sentes das fotos que eu tiro, o que elas te transmitem e te fazem pensar conhecendo tu o meu <i< Mundo da forma que conheces. Gosto das leituras que fazes, das palavras que usas para verbalizar o meu silêncio.

Obrigada por seres sempre tão minucioso e por sempre sentires o que eu coloco à disposição das sensibilidades que por aqui passem.

I usually say Strange is good but I must agree that different is good too. Thank you for your inspiring words, my dear, thank you so much for the motivation you always put in my heart.

Thank you.
