Misha

value study 1 for “witness”

i allow my curiosity to lead

listen to the subtle want of a bigger piece of paper

open my tin of waxy watercolor crayons

and mark the page with the color,

warmed from my fingers.

i play with the want to move marks

in patterns, and then opposite patterns,

rebels on the page.

move the paint to please my self and not

to please the eye of an audience

play

with primary colors

where and how and they blend

pray the sheet in the air

shaman, you find me here.

i’ve been hiding.

this piece was created through the jewish studio process.
