Art to Art Talk

This poem was inspired by the work of art before you:

 

Inspired by: Pot from the “Phoenix” series 1996/2000

 

My feet scorch the grounds on which I step upon

Footprints etch the path I take leaving my mark

My arms reach out like the rays of the sun

Hands graze the sky like the tips of a limb’s tree bark

 

No one can contain this spirit

Full of spark and fire

My bounds hold no limits

And never will my soul tire

 

For it is at this spot here

That I ask you to do the same

“Break through your fear”

For you are a phoenix lit aflame

— Tristan Bennington
