safe

I squirm, yearn Slurp my dry tongue for nourishment It seems dark, wild, scattered Yet I’ve been here before And you are beside me So close I feel your breath Your protection, presence Growing from deep to deep Beneath To strengthen my being, Guide my paths Knowing I’m loved and safe.

Born in 1982, Joshua Bollback Butler currently lives and works in Sydney. Butler paints stories he lives and learns by with paper speakings, word swirls and wood works. They are created by using fine tip markers, coloured pencils, gold leaf on paper and wood. Belonging to his country, Australian natives and animals fill his art in a decorative and Art Nouveau inspired style – like medieval stained glass windows with a contemporary twist.
