Gill McGrath© March 6. The little lady just got better and better!
Tag: sculpture,
found objects: twigs. wire.wood. painted blue wheel of a cart.
Is this any old rubbish flung by someone round here?
Or was it all whipped along in the air
by the wind…
caught by chance on the wire?
Or has each thing been placed here with considerable care…
turned now into something quite precious…
…called art?
Gill McGrath© today. location: edge of wood. site specific.
Wood: I could be your lady
In its past this aching lovely tree
Was pruned with heavy hands
And left with its weeping wounds to heal alone
Growing useful, monstrous, silent scars, accepted
As a kind of beauty on its own!
But, if you look close……
You’ll see just one scar still crying
Open there among the rest.
The lady sits there still in waiting, ready
To be shaped in new shades of beauty
By a gentle Sculptor’s pair of hands!
Gill McGrath.
