Welcome to Art/TEXT

a collaborative exhibition space for students at Canberra Institute of Technology.

Art/TEXT was first established in 2009 when Creative Writing teacher Lorese Vera met with Art teachers Bernie Slater, Paul Murray, Silvia Velez and others, to form a collaboration between art and writing students. Images were exchanged for text and responded to and vice-a-versa and two very well received 'on the wall' exhibitions were held at the CIT Reid Campus during 2009.

For 2010, students will visit the blog and post text or images to be responded to as a part of their assessment tasks as an 'online exhibition'.It is hoped that the blog will take on a life of its own and text and images will be exchanged beyond the assessment tasks and will generate further collaborations and exhibitions.

She melted like wax
though alabaster, cast of ivory
reduced to cream one autumn night
a bolt of silk unfurled across the floor
porcelain dripping to milk
waiting for the cat to come lap her up

    Dreams in a Tea Cup

    my eyes open to you
    spirit of the past
    rose scented vapour
    and the colour of you skin
    fill my memory

    Time may change the way I think you
    your face may fade
    though I could never forget the feeling
    of your cold wet scales on my skin

    Love is

    Love is
    savouring a freshly brewed cup of Earl Grey tea served in your best china
    the one with the string of cheerful yellow daisies circling the outer lip of the cup.
    Love is
    watching the steam from the tea create little mermaid shapes that waft towards the mermaid doll given to you by your five year old daughter for Mother’s Day.
    Love is
    treasuring this limpy doll with its tousled black long hair, blue fabric scales and plastic fin
    because it’s your daughter’s most treasured possession gifted to you with the request that she sometimes be allowed to play with it.
    Love is
    appreciating your partner for surprising you with a brooch you’ve longed for
    the old fashioned looking one with the delicate and intricate silver around its oval border.
    Love is
    biting into a breakfast of home-made cup-cakes
    that have been baked by your loved ones and diligently decorated with pink icing and red cherries.
    Love is
    admiring the perfection of a freshly picked rose
    and smelling its exquisite scent.
    Love is
    catching that particular look in someone’s eyes
    and knowing that love just is.

    morning spirit

    eyes wide open to chase away the sleep
    I smile to greet the image in the mirror
    A cup of tea to bring me warmth and serenity
    A red rose to remind me of your love
    A walk to the beach for a dream or two
    I close my eyes and take a deep breath as I walk closer and deeper into the ocean
    I take a dive and let the ocean dance me through the waves
    I am where I want to be
    I am a mermaid
