Description
This is a mixed media piece (paper, acrylic, burlap, marker, pencil) inspired by the Simon and Garfunkel song "Dangling Conversation." This song has a deep personal meaning to me.
Here are the lyrics:
It's a still life watercolor
Of a now-late afternoon
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
And shadows wash the room
And we sit and drink our coffee
Couched in our indifference, like shells upon the shore
You can hear the ocean roar
In the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
The borders of our lives
And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with book markers
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives
Yes, we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives

Great interpretation of the song in collage, Mary! Before I read about the inspiration, I noted the very mid-century modern quality of the artwork - perfect for the modern home - L/F!

Thank you, Mitch! This one means a lot to me. My mother and I used to sit over coffee and talk for hours. :)
