I lie down in the grass And forget all I was taught. What I was taught never made me any warmer or cooler. What I was told exists never changed the shape of a thing. What I was made to see never touched my eyes. What was pointed out to me was never there: only what was there was there.

-Fernando Pessoa

Among the tortures and devastations of life is this then–our friends are not able to finish their stories.

Not the moon. A flower on the other side of the water. The water sweeps past in flood, dragging a whole tree by the hair, a barn, a bridge. The flower sings on the far bank. Not a flower, a bird calling hidden among the darkest trees, music over the water, making a silence out of the brown folds of the river’s cloak. The moon. No, a young man walking under the trees. There are lanterns among the leaves. Tender, wise, merry, his face is awake with its own light, I see it across the water as if close up. A jester. The music rings from his bells, gravely, a tune of sorrow, I dance to it on my riverbank.

Denise Levertov, Waiting for the Moon (via mothwood)

Survival Guide For Animals Born In Captivity

The trick is to get on the ground and fold yourself into a small, soft shape.

To be in no way sudden. To smile

but keep your lips tight shut. The trick is

don’t get smart. Don’t dream. Don’t imagine. Pull yourself up

but not too up. Don’t forget you don’t belong

to anyone or any place at all. Don’t flinch. Don’t startle.

The trick is you were never meant

to be let in. This life is not for you.

Don’t protest. Don’t complain.

The trick is you buck against your skin.

The boys look like men and the girls get exactly what they want.

Surrender. Deserve it.

The trick is your body itself is a violence. This is all your fault.

Jessica Dunegan ~ “Surreal Painting with Liquid Resin”

Jessica uses a combination of plywood, paints, plastic sheeting, and most importantly liquid resin. The liquid resin allows Jessica to add layers, depth, and a 3D appearance to flat images. Her creations vibrate with powerful emotions of joy, freedom, and romance.

“My subjects are more than superficial objects. They may look realistic from afar, but upon further inspection, they are comprised of suspended, chaotic lines. I want to capture each animated form in time and celebrate its imperfections.” ~ Jessica Dunegan
