thorns suffer
melon scent
leather soul
jewellery whispers
people magic
rose courage

jewellery whispers
people magic
rose courage
strange ketchup
bee stories
sleep ripple
peony paint
minds echo
sunlight sinner
This is a cut-up poem inspired by a visit to Munich in 2025 where I saw Schmuck jewellery exhibition and Cy Twombly’s 2008 series of rose paintings in Brandhorst Museum. Cut-up method can lead to the deconstruction of conventions. William Burroughs termed this a phycho-sensory approach exposing hidden truths embedded within the language that would otherwise remain unnoticed. I use cut-up method as a way of forming a composite voice, between past and present allowing these hidden truths to be spoken through the objects I make. In these works the words are sewn into felt with iron wire and represent a composite voice from the jewellers, the curator and the painter. Rose imagery was cut from tins produced in the Cadbury chocolate factory situated in the town of Bournville Birmingham, UK where I now live. “Life is a cut-up”.
