Live Dangerously!
Picture
Acrylic on paper.
April 2008.
Exhibited at Uxbridge Arts Centre, Howick, Auckland. NZ for 'Vision and Verse'
Artworks created in response to published poetry. 
​
This exhibition was organised by Uxbridge Arts Centre, Howick, Auckland, New Zealand. 
They asked local poets to submit work and asked local artists to choose one poem to respond to it anyway we liked. 
I chose the work of - Bronwyn Bryant. 
Her poem is below. 
On the Edge

She lived
dangerously

my mother

cut the bread
towards her

spoke with pins
in her mouth

but she knew
to burn her diary

well before
she died

so we girls
wouldn't learn

her secrets. 


Bronwyn Bryant


  
​I chose her work because of its sense of humour and wisdom and how it reminds us that mothers are human too.
They have a past, an identity of their own.
