musée mia burrus

ekphrasis

Every musée needs a display. That was the conceit behind my wish to add a poem, in the form of a ‘label’, to Vicky’s wonderful assemblage, on view in Gallery. An ekphrastic poem is at once description, reflection, expansion of a work of art (or – god forbid- its meaning.) What came to mind was discovery…the path…twilight…friends…fog….arising…who are you?…ambiguity….
