CYNTHIA FARNELL STUDIO
Garlands is a suite of large-scale prints and a video piece. These baroque elaborations connect with deeper and enduring aspects of human experience through beauty and continuity. Poet Megan Sexton wrote the following poem in response to the work:
Garlands
These terrestrial stars,
verbing, bursting,
cascading into
declensions
of color -
directives of
red yielding
to prepositions
of pink,
the pluperfect
of silver green,
permutations
of the eye
reading the silent
grammar of
hot country lilies,
assembled,
passed along -
one sentence ends,
another is always
beginning.
