Description
Each Moon Milk collage is made from fashion magazines, repurposing and reimagining images into a new, unique image. This particular piece uses skin tones in black and white, with the lights and darks representing the shades of the Moon cycle, glued on handmade cotton paper.
The piece is professionally framed with a linen background and a wooden frame.
41×52 cm, 3 cm deep.
Let me tell the tale
Of a girl who didn’t stop,
Who climbed up every mountain
Without a pause upon the top.
She’d dance until each blade of grass
Was clothed in drops of dew,
And the sun knew her by name
But the silver moon did too.
For a fear had settled in her bones;
A fear of sitting still,
That if you’re not moving forward
It must mean you never will.
So in time her dance got slower
And she looked at all she’d seen,
But found gaps inside the places
That she’d never fully been,
For she was a human doing
Human moving, human seeing,
But she’d never taken time
To simply be a human being.
