Melbourne sundown

Patricia Nieto — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 06:04:48 GMT

Melbourne

Even with your eyes closed

still could see the clouds moving

Relaxed by the rhythmic sound of the sea…

Take a deep breath

The warmth of the scented breeze

brings memories

and sounds

from sea shells and conchs

that come and go…

some stay over the sand that warms your feet…

some stay on the tracks, left by sea creatures

some stay on the marks left by the sea itself

some stay on your footprints…

...the footprints of your feet…

Your feet. They discern shapes,

textures,…temperatures…

your feet tell their own story…

…But your closed eyes

still perceive the clouds, the breeze and the sea-gulls above,

which briefly cover the sun

leaving footprints in the sky…

…deeply breathe again

incommensurable instant

…open your eyes

and you wake up

from your dream…

or your remembrance…

Melbourne
Even with your eyes closed
still could see the clouds moving
Relaxed by the rhythmic sound of the sea…
Take a deep breath
The warmth of the scented breeze
brings memories
and sounds
from sea shells and conchs
that come and go…
some stay over the sand that warms your feet…
some stay on the tracks, left by sea creatures
some stay on the marks left by the sea itself
some stay on your footprints…

...the footprints of your feet…

Your feet. They discern shapes,
textures,…temperatures…
your feet tell their own story…

…But your closed eyes
still perceive the clouds, the breeze and the sea-gulls above,
which briefly cover the sun
leaving footprints in the sky…

…deeply breathe again
incommensurable instant

…open your eyes
and you wake up
from your dream…
or your remembrance…

Patricia Nieto — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 07:59:18 GMT

Cold Feet

Patricia Nieto — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 04:20:13 GMT

[b]cold feet [/b] I was nervous read all about it and had big expectations although I've never been there I knew it well... by the time we got there ...my heart was beating faster breathing heavily it was cold but I was sweating... ...started walking through, way hard to imagine... there were 6 million numbers etched in the glass each number belonged... to each individual killed I needed to get even closer ...went bare foot over the cold metal heat emanated from below... vapor made difficult to discern the lights twinkling underneath heart pounding and cold feet and... ...and chills, and sweating...! Its hard to read with blurred eyes ...overwhelming... left the towers and found stones ...my friend told me it is a Jewish tradition to leave stones over graves... ...cause we will always remember them and never will stop building their monuments...

Patricia Nieto — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 02:56:26 GMT

Assemblage, collaged and mixed media on wood (36" h x 24" w). [b]9/11[/b] Vague light between the mist so much silence in this noise surreal without beginning or end silent voices calling me countless faces fear hatred what do they do? what do I do? paradoxical realities meaning? possibilities? I don’t remember peace within… The vague light between the mist suddenly disappeared....

Arecibo

Patricia Nieto — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 06:27:39 GMT

[b]Arecibo[/b], is a mixed media and wood box that explores Memory, it tells a story from a real to an imaginary place... it explores ideas about time, existence, geography, and environment... through poetry, photography, and collage, on a three-dimensional assemblage... Arecibo in Puerto Rico is a surreal place to dream, to remember...to escape [b]Arecibo[/b] In the middle of the rainforest It smells like wet ground and fresh herbs when it rains Sky is clean. I walk up the hill The stone walls seam like ancient ruins... when suddenly it appears grandiose as if arrived from out of space a magical apparatus that observes stars and planets perhaps living creatures, civilizations... that no longer exist... it observes the past, what occurs today, will be observed in thousands of years... it seams that the time passing suddenly stops to observe [b]the time[/b] the sound of the stars, celestial bodies, magnetic waves, radio frequencies... intelligible codes for some inexplicable hieroglyphs to others. I take a deep breath Walk down the hill I still smell wet ground after the rain... walking into the forest I disappear... from place and time. Patricia Nieto

"Real Estate"

Patricia Nieto — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 05:16:05 GMT

"Real Estate" is a photographic work that explores architecture and its social and economical role today; it debates the oxymoron of high property value areas versus the precarious social condition of the inhabitants of the area... displaying the "security" conditions imposed...
