“Seaweeding”
2008 entry had Wild Moves using the medium of seaweed and clay in collaboration with Janet Miller (art work), Bernadette Zen (poetry), Jacqui Dreessens (movement and soundscape)Our inspiration comes from the sea and her “blanket of weed.”
whirls and curls and fronds
twirl in the froth,
worlds of whorls and woven webbing
under my toes.
rock pools with curtains fluttering in the ripples
sea-grapes pop
protecting my feet
from needles of rocks.
i slip and slide on
floppy squelchy lettuce
in fields of sea grass.
cotton skirts
of pink and brown and green
spiral and sway
streamers flow and flutter.
fibrous fingers
stretch over shells
roots crocheted
into rock fabric,
a tapestry of tendrils.
matted hairy carpet
mats of moss
masses of tangles
knitted into sand.
seething waves
catch me and dump me under
crash down
crush my resistance
writhing
through curdled colours of darkness and light
brown, yellow, slimy green
dreadlocked seaweed
strangles me
kelp anchored in the sand
drags me to the depths
buries my face
punching the air out of me
sand scrapes my body.
thunderous water
thumps my eardrums.
i surrender
allow the waves to carry me
lurched onto the shore
i can breathe again,
but there’s swell on the horizon…
