Artwork Description

Artist Bio

Original verse by Edmund West and Liz.

A sensuous scratch.

Do you have a spirit, a soul, a voice.
Whisper in the wind, a quiet rejoice.

Burnt siena, ochres, tonal grays
Olive eucalyptus the afternoon haze.

Pee on a tree, a jaggedy dark patch
Blonde summer grass, a sensuous scratch.


The gate is open just a chink

The gate is open just a chink
Should I go through, what do you think?

I'm going out the door
In search of a why and wherefore

Do you see the land of promise
Or has it been taken from us.

Talk in real life
Either way there can be strife.
Talking in real life can be difficult. Lean on a gate,
It will be great.

Splash in the sea,
Wait and see.

The beach is deserted
Except for some kelp
We walk in the shallows
I give a joyous yelp

A ray shoots under my foot
Gone in a blink
A split second shadow
No need to think

All is shimmers.
The waves flat and languid
Breakers unfinished
Don't care if I'm stupid
