Untitled
By Fern Smith 2018
My name has a roughness,
uncouth by some
often feared.
People see me at different events
dressed differently.
I have many hats.
I have no religion;
no title
I am landless.
The strange thing is I am sowing seeds
they are sprouting,
growing
replicating.
Unidentifiable.
You cannot locate me,
Or box me.
You think you know me.
I cannot be known
For then I may be owned.
I will defy you at every turn.
I cannot be understood.
You don’t understand.
You cannot hold me.
I am more than equal
My name is Feminism

A couple of my watercolour on cotton artworks will be in the exhibition, ‘big SMALL (works)’. Its up to the artists to sell their works as there is no commission. See https://fernartz.com/art-shop/ The two works looking for a home: 1. Dedicated to Rebecca Small and 2. Kettle of Mermaids. They are little gems if I might say so myself.
Love to see you at the opening it is Noir Darkroom’s first full year in operation. Support your local gallery that supports local artists. Jess is a very affable art director. You never know you might want to exhibit their too.
