“Drifts” — by Marilyn R. Rosenberg
Artist’s Statement
DRIFTS
Created on the computer at the end of 2003, “DRIFTS” can be any size. Life continues as phantoms reappear in the grid. Printed by ink jet on acid free paper, the water based ink is not archival, but should last 20 years in the shade.
The size is dependent on desire.
Water as theme often appears through the years. The poet remembers, seeing the powerful sound of the country stream/river/creek in the sounds of the city. Moving water is securely waiting in the water tower containers and fire hydrants to be available when needed for safety, for powerful uses. Excerpted from the gouache set of large facing pages, 6 WATER VOICES, “#4. PUDDLING” and “#5. PROCRASTINATE” are set on top of one another with added words, images of fish and reflections of water towers to become DRIFTS.
