“Words escape me, emotions cannot.

My gaze is uncomfortable and unsure where to fall.

This is too much to emotionally contemplate.

I feel unsteady.

I am floating in a boat of

emotional conundrum, emotional flux.

One moment rocking gentle in a state of quiet contemplation,

next embracing myself amidst turmoil,

wondering if I will make it, and to what?

I am unsure, a place and time and moment.

A poetic wonderland of whimsy or solemnity;

a daunting or propitious berth?

The spell breaks and eventually visual focus is found,

tantalized. Another spell is cast.

Wonderfully vivid gestural strokes from absurd images

that are at once incongruous yet completely appropriate,

naively sophisticated.I am ensconced both emotionally and

visually within a wonderland of contradiction.

Strange little spirited objects, things, life form entice me to play,

contemplate, admire, identify with, embrace,

fear, comfort, protect, repel.Welcome to this world.

A world that is mine.”- Written piece by Bill Brown:

The ship of fools.
