In ancient woodland
ferns unfurl and bluebells thrive;
late afternoon sun.

St Michael’s Mount, small worm casts

Rockpooling alone
and ‘peet peeweet’ on the breeze
sweet sounds of my past.

Fine decorations
adorn a tough carapace;
king of camouflage.

Below the clifftops
gliding with effortless grace,

1011. Upfest 2017 (49)
Mazzi C is an artist whose plain speaking and informative Upfest biography profile tells us that she is inspired by natural organic forms and Oriental art. Mazzie C, from Cornwall (my favourite place) goes on to say that she finds the juxtoposition of natural themes and street art using sprays and inks interesting. Her work is driven by dialetics of nature and urban culture. Well mine too – welcome to Natural Adventures.
This small work is subtle and engaging (I want to use the word charming, but it always sounds so patronising). There are several things going on here – the beautiful bird set amongst triangles and stencilled flower patterns, the swirling folds are also really well crafted, almost as if the whole thing is made of cloth. Now I just need to see some of this work on walls!
Busy
Mind your own business
I have a great deal to do
I need to scurry.

The window is small
and only pallid fragments

Water beadlets lie
