I’m so tired she said
and he agreed
but what he didn’t understand
was the tiredness of which she spoke
was not for want of sleep

So happy to see you play them such a wonderful and right way…
You are one of the rare magicians who speaks through my dolls.
Love to see their second life. Such a loud and expressive one..
Magical..
Thank you so so much Elena. You make beautiful dolls. The only way I can envision them living is in a wonderful way. Still much to come from my 2 other dolls I have from you. Thank you.
Powerful partnering of picture and prose.
Thank you so much. (and I love your alliteration)
It started out normally but seemed to work lol.
This speaks rather loudly… to me. :-) A ‘spacious’ poem. Beautiful!
Thank you very much.
Very nice work. Love the poem too.
Thank you very much
How lovely this is… how evocative the words, insightful. How exasperatedly exhausted your figure. One wonders:
exhausted by the burdens and frailties of a relationship
exhausted by her partner’s failure to see the nature of her exhaustion
And I wonder, did the words follow the image, or the image follow the words or, did both respond to the same calling?
Thank you so so much. I’m glad it’s made you think. Not to ruin the mystery, but to answer part of your questions, the words came first with the picture to follow. Though both were planned at the same time. I just wasn’t able to solidify what the picture needed to look like until I got the words down on paper.
Mmmm… mystery intact. :)
The close cropping of the image expands the implied confinement in the words, the harried state of the figure implies an exasperation on top of the exhaustion, the asymmetrical frame strengthens the sense of a life out-of-balance.
A very potent and effective collaboration of image and word.
Wow thank you so so much
