  • Dedicated to Germaine Greer

    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.

     

  • Puppet making

    Finished puppet a very satisfying feeling. A good marionette puppet starting point.
    Tools needed: scissors, paper glue, awe for poking holes, tape, and stapler
    It is takes a little time to get the wool/string at the right length – put on a door handle or hook for ease. The stapled neck is threaded with wool/string through the head. Puncture paper to insert paper clips. Once everything is assembled decorated how you choose.

  • Merlynston 3058 mauve sky

    Memories of yesterday lay on my skin, rolled, tumbled out of bed before morning’s crack. Slip slop slurp bleary coffee shuffle out the door. Today replaced yesterday on my skin; cool renewal soft mauve tones of light entered my minds eye.

    The slider starts with yesterdays end to morning’s crack. All photographs were taken in Merlynston 3058.
