Ekphrasis: poetry in response to Flourish

I was recently contacted by a poet, Sally Denshire, who wrote a poem in response to my cyanotype artwork Flourish, that was the winning artwork in the Flying Arts Alliance Qld Regional Art Awards in 2020. To be gifted this poem that beautifully describes my artwork and current art practice is such a joy. Thank you Sally.
 
A Lineage of Ecologies

Each sea blue petal, gathered

in honour of Detritus, was slow

stitch’d  into this teeming quilt,

this bowerbird mandala,

this cathedral rose window

in the navy night,

this rock pool in kaleidoscope.

And now the Seaweeds, from

Photographs of British Algae

to whom Flourish is indebted,

wave from their 19th century pages

in a lineage of ecologies.
