No Matter What Shape - The Archive

AN ARCHIVE OF MY OLDER WORK - AN EXHIBITION SPACE FOR ORIGINAL AND ALTERNATE VERSIONS OF MANIPULATED WORKS THAT APPEAR AT MICKMATHERSARTBLOG - A PARKING PLACE FOR SELECTED GRAPHICS USED IN OTHER BLOG SIDEBARS - AN ARTWORK IN AND OF ITSELF

About Me

My Photo
Name:
Location: Syracuse, New York, United States

In its short-sightedness, blogger has turned its back on those of us stuck with old operating systems and I'm forced to find a new blog host. You will now find MickMathersARTblog at Blog.com - use the direct link found in the masthead and remember to update your bookmarks. This place will continue as another archive for a large body of my work. As many of you know, my primary medium and working method is digital collage composed of manipulated photographs often combined with digital drawing & generative images. Netlabels, bands and musicians can view samples of my CD Cover Art at Mick Mather Illustration located on Tumblr. In another life I was an Arts & Culture consultant specializing in revitalization planning through creative public art projects and programs with Economic & Community Development Departments of towns, villages and cities. In these hard financial times this work is more important than ever and I still accept consultancy inquiries. You can contact me by email at: mickmather@yahoo.com

PEACEFUL PLACE

It was a fortune, a random luck of the draw
fleeing one of those Chinese cookies
smashed at my feet, with bits and pieces and crumbs
forming the foundation of a directive, a sign:
“Find a peaceful place where you
can make plans for the future” it said.

Without pause, with an image of you
I wondered, not quite out loud,
“Are you my peaceful place?”
What future beyond these stolen moments
can fairly be made, it’s diffuse glow
flawed and accused and alleged?

- not as a thief who feels a shame or remorse,
nor the unfaithful with secrets to keep -
but like the forewarned fool ignorant of caution,
unencumbered with discernment or assessment of clues,
incapable of restraint from impractical jabber
even in sight of losing his head.
