collage (anatomical illustration, and blueprint) on Arches cover paper
7 1/2 x 11 inches

But you, Iphigenia, upon your head
Will the Argives wreathe a crown
Like a heifer, red, white, unblemished,
They will slash your throat.
For sacrifice.

Found poem created from the text of Euripides’ Iphigenia at Aulis.

Push back upon the shelf of silence
Push back upon the shelf of silence
collage (anatomical illustrations, found art, child’s dress pattern, and altered poem) on Arches cover paper

Push back upon the shelf
Of silence all your thoughts
and morbid doubt
because your lips are dumb
and
The world is better off without.

On second thought I’m in no haste
To launch upon that boundless waste.
To drift unheeding day or night,
Or drop, like Jonah, out of sight.
