Soft Shadow

Original Creation Date: April 23rd, 2006

Okay, part deux. This is a follow-up to Estranged. I purposefully tried to keep the style similar and tied it in with the poetry, which is by Damien Echols. (www.wm3.org)

I watched as
the closet door
slid open,
slowly,
and out crept
a spindly man-thing
to dance in silent circles
next to my bed.

Original was auctioned off at Skeleton Key in San Francisco.
Model: Aaron Gilmore
Photographer: Tessa Beebe
Charcoal on 90 lb. paper (Canson), freehand, 14” x 20”

P.S. I friggin’ LOVE this one. Auction or not, I weep for the original.

    Great work- that short simple poem condures such vivid imagery too- no wonder her gaze is so intend and slightly disbelieving (well through my eyes anyway)- ACE xx
