A vibrating bookend to the first iteration of Non-archival Submissions graciously supported by the fine people at Dunlop Art Gallery, in particular Tomas Jonsson, and Kia Schollar of Sask Sport.
Non-archival Submissions is the sister-project to Non-archival Archive, which is kin with Muscle Panic. Follow those links if you’re curious.

Above is an image of a poster of a piece of lined lavender paper with black serifed letters spelling out the words:
Pulled up into a loose ponytail.
She wears a black leotard which fastens over her
white skates with stirrups.
Worn down rubber along the outsole.
A fencing foil in one hand and the other hand clenched in a fist.
Two black knee braces, not fancy.
In the pool with their water polo caps on.
They look like they could click their heels if not for the skis attached to their feet.

Thank you to Shannon Comerford, Blair Fornwald, Whit Genoway, Rey Hesterman and Jaye Kovach for their willingness to engage with the Non-archival Submissions prompt. The above poem was made with borrowed lines from the ALT text they provided for their images.
Keep the submissions coming.
Truly, Hazel
