I, 8
mixed media collage on paper 5.5 x 7.5cm 1994
[The collage is from a suite of 15 concertina books based on The Sonnets to Orpheus by Rainer Maria Rilke, 1923. “… only Lament still learns;
upon her beads, night after night, she counts the ancient curse. Yet awkward as
she is, she suddenly lifts a constellation of our voice, glittering, into the
pure nocturnal sky.”]
